In the far future, in the crime-ridden city its citizens call Punktown, dangerous cults work to summon the monstrous Old Ones from their long sleep. In an effort to better understand these alien gods, a rogue scientist has been working on a computer-generated model of a composite being that he calls Yogthutu.

However, Yogthutu has been taking on a life of its own.

As the researcher’s experiments go dangerously awry, a number of his friends—led by a conscience-stricken gangster named Colin Rex—rush against time to find the researcher’s lab, shut down his experiments, and stop Yogthutu before the New God brings about the destruction of the entire city.

A thrilling blend of Lovecraftian horror and science fiction, The New God is the latest installment in Jeffrey Thomas’ popular Punktown series.
