Mungus ate the end of the world. It tasted like chicken.When Claire Pemberton's cat consumes a cosmic artifact that was supposed to be her thesis paperweight, she expects some digestive complications. She does not expect fish showers over London, traffic lights speaking ancient Sumerian, or a government committee determined to take her cat away for "containment."Now Claire-an anxiety-ridden graduate student whose entire field nobody takes seriously-must navigate emergency bureaucracy, face down hostile treasury officials, and prove that love isn't a weakness in cosmic entity management. It's the only thing that works.Her allies include a demon named Harold who considers paperwork a form of devotion, a government agent whose cat is learning to purr at pipes, and a professor who just discovered his thirty years of theoretical research are terrifyingly real.
