Glenda Lynne Hixson is sold into prostitution by her father and prospers in an early 20th Century brothel. After her murder, she rises to power in Hell with her lover, an artificially intelligent supercomputer, PAIN. Over the next one hundred years they, with their allies, defeat Shai'tan, are hailed as liberators on Terra and lay siege to the cities of Heaven. The Third Choice is an account of the greatest changes in the history of an alternative Earth and answers the eternal question, "What happens when we die?"
