The Last Four Things

Returning to the Sanctuary of the Redeemers, Thomas Cale is told by the Lord Militant that the destruction of mankind is necessary; the only way to undo God's greatest mistake. Cale seemingly accepts his role in the ending of the world: fate has painted him as the Left Hand of God, the Angel of Death.

The Last Four Things by Paul Hoffman is described as "A dark and wildly imaginative story, well told and packed with hair-raising twists" by The Times.

"You're the right colour for the Angel of Death, Mister Cale. But a little short."

"I could cut your head off and stand on it. Then I'd be taller."

Return to the Sanctuary of the Redeemersβ€”a place of pain, cruelty, and terrible, dark devotion. Thomas Caleβ€”the Left Hand of God, the Angel of Deathβ€”is put in charge of an army and groomed to bring about the end of the world.

But might not Caleβ€”killer, strategist, pawn, and boy whose nature is far stranger than even the Redeemers can knowβ€”have his own reasons for bringing about the Last Four Things?
