In a time of mythic crisis, the Greenman has summoned The Treacherous Triad: three fools who inadvertently fall into a patch of creeping fig and discover a mythological world on the brink of destruction. The once noble and worshipped myths, gods and monsters of human history are being eradicated and forgotten in a digital age. A new cybernetic threat has emerged to wipe out all memory of gods and monsters and replace them with a virtual reality. Together, the three fools must fulfill the prophecy carved into the limbs of the dying Greenman and rally the remaining myths to battle a powerful cybernetic army. Along the way, they must reteach humanity what it means to be human, to be passionate, and to be truly alive.

This book was epic. It had a dream-like quality that was endlessly amazing. Includes everything and the kitchen sink. If you feel your favorite myth is under-represented, this book is for you.
Outstanding! This book will have you in tears while you're clutching the stitch in your side, from laughter!
This is one of those books that you want to take the time to read, preferably under a tree, in a field. It's a book that encompasses what we all imagine, at one point or another, in our lives, of what it is too be an adult, a fantasy, a myth, or an Oracle. This author has written a book that will spark, hopefully, an interest in those myths, legends, deities and much more, that have been portrayed in this wondrous tale, giving them new life, while having you scrambling for any references to their histories long after you have finished the last "elude". Thank you for this tale of many tales. May there always be another "once upon..."!
