Going to Heaven was the worst thing that ever happened to Jake Altford. Escaping Heaven is a darkly comedic novel about a nobody working a dead-end job, living a dead-end life, who learns that death is just the kick start he needed to get a new beginning. After the kind of day that would break anyone's spirits, Jake dies and is taken up to Heaven by a Cherub named Bob. Once there, however, Jake discovers that Heaven is nothing like the brochure (which Bob gives him when he arrives). Long lines, endless paperwork, interviews ... all before he even gets into Heaven itself. Once inside, things only keep going downhill. He finds himself looking at an eternity of torture - nothing but macaroni paintings and arts & crafts therapy. So he does what any sane person in his place would do - he decides to break out. Pursued by a multitude of angels, including one with Born to Kill etched into his halo, Jake cons, bluffs and just generally out-thinks everyone he meets, freed from his old life by a new-found defiance. As he goes, he finds himself making new allies inspired by his radical ideas, as he tries to make his way back to Earth. Busting out of Heaven, it seems, may turn into the best thing that ever happened to him.
