The Five Deaths of Joshua Cross: History's Worst Recurring Problem

By Adrian Snow

Joshua Cross was supposed to die once.

Instead, Heaven made it permanent.

Every time Joshua dies, he's dragged back before celestial bureaucracy, handed another bill, and thrown into another century.

Ancient Rome mistakes him for a political threat.

Viking-age Norway mistakes him for something disturbingly Odin-shaped.

Egypt turns him into the most blamed man in the Exodus.

Every death adds another legend.

Every resurrection adds another fee.

Joshua doesn't want to change history. He just wants to survive long enough to stop accidentally becoming part of it.

Unfortunately, Heaven has other plans.

Somewhere between impossible contracts, divine accounting, and a growing list of civilizations convinced he's a prophet, monster, or devil, Joshua realizes the real punishment isn't dying-

It's the paperwork afterward.

As history spirals further out of control, Heaven's exhausted administration scrambles to contain the damage while Joshua becomes the one thing no immortal bureaucracy ever expected:

A recurring problem.

The Five Deaths of Joshua Cross is a darkly funny epic fantasy blending mythology, history, divine bureaucracy, and accidental legends into an unforgettable adventure where every death makes history worse-and every return to Heaven comes with another invoice.
