A rich Cypriot gangster hires flying winemaker Richard Green to find a mysterious vineyard somewhere in Eastern Europe. A vicious new Capitalism is devouring the post-Communist Balkan states, where anything goes, and where women like Green's accent. God destroyed Eden, where men's lives spanned a thousand years, and limited Noah's tribe to a mere 120 years, the Bible says. But one tribe evaded this limit: the 'immortal' Greek Gods, the tribe of Gaia. They ruled the World until the Christians came, and declared them to be Demons, agents of Satan. Now, mere mortals threaten to discover Nectar, secret of the god's longevity. But Gaia is already burdened with too many greedy mortals! Surely she must act to punish their Hubris. The action moves to the Eastern Mediterranean, where several plots interweave: Aphrodite, the Goddess of Lust, kidnapped for a ransom of drugs; a son of Zeus plots to fulfil an ancient prophecy to usurp Zeus's throne; and the mortal hero's personal odyssey.
