The novel is set in the far future, with humans on many worlds. Some have god-like powers, or perhaps are gods — the names and aspects of various Egyptian Gods are used. Elements of horror and technology are mixed, and it has points in common with Cyberpunk.

Glen Runciter is dead. Or is everyone else? What is certain is that someone has been killed in an explosion organized by Runciter's competitors. In fact, your employees attend a funeral. But during the duel they begin to receive unpleasant and even morbid messages from their boss. And the world around them begins to unravel in a way that suggests they don't have much time left either.
