When a Tree Falls
Time is slowing down. Andrew, an English programmer, living alone in Bulgaria, finds out he is the next evolution of humanity and has to save the world before a mysterious being slows down time into a single dull moment. Andrew is forced on a quest through time and alternative realities to find God, whose true name is Jeff. Guided by his Holy Guardian Angel, Tigger, the patron angel of computers and things that are designed to blow up, his journey goes through Hell and out the other side. He meets demons, the Triple Goddess, finds out the secret of Avebury, Jeff's reason for creating the universe and above all the answer to the question "if a tree falls in a forest and no one is around, does it make a sound?" An archaic romp through time, space and philosophy reminiscent of Terry Pratchett, Douglas Adams, or a bloke who has eaten too many strange mushrooms on an empty stomach.

Well written and enjoyable novel with great philosophical and esoteric insight!
This is a very nice and well-written novel. It is a very enjoyable read with a great sense of humor. What makes it so interesting is the in-depth insight into how esoteric and philosophical questions are presented and how they are answered through the characters and dialogues. It was especially fascinating the fact that I could not predict how the story will continue and what kind of characters will appear throughout the book so when a new character appeared it was very interesting how it would fit to the whole story and how it unfolded to help the main hero to continue his journey. I particularly enjoyed the discussion with god, the journey to hell, the description of the forest, and the time-travels.
This is a delightful book!
