Patience Kelleher doesn’t want to be a soldier of the Lord. She doesn’t want His voice in her head, and she certainly doesn’t want Him texting her emoticon-laden messages about boy band singers and sinister solar power corporations. What would a cranky, twenty-three-year-old waitress know about preventing the Apocalypse? He’s got believers for that sort of thing, or the Army. All Patience wants is to keep a job she actually likes, and to try to avoid falling for her confounding new neighbor if possible. When the Lord enlists said neighbor to convince her to step up, it doesn’t brighten her mood. That was dirty pool, in her opinion.

Zane Grey Ellison doesn’t particularly want to be a soldier of the Lord either, but he’s open to discussion. His world’s been pretty skewed since he abandoned his father’s estate, and his preoccupation with the waitress across the street hasn’t helped him regain his equilibrium. The texts she’s receiving from an iPhone obsessed God don’t seem all that much more wondrous to him than his discovery of diner food, or the realization that not every girl can be impressed by a Bugatti Veyron. If she’d just stop bickering with the Lord for a minute, he thinks they might even stand a chance of getting the job done. Patience fights to keep her sanity as Zane fights to keep the peace, determined not to let the world die…

Not when it’s just getting good.
