Here's a taste, from Chapter One:
The ground had, at long last, stopped shuddering.
Momus sat some way down the mountain from its Olympian palaces, now

rough rock, cast a short glance up the mountainside to its summit, then
rested his chin on his fist and sighed.

And how they had flown! One after the other, lancing with
prescient accuracy from the fingertips and palms of beleaguered
Zeus, ripping with thunderous ferocity into the bodies of
gods far more powerful than Momus.
Even they seemed surprised by the raw fury Zeus unleashed
upon them; one deity after another, pain-wracked bodies
silhouetted black against the brilliant electric flashes, hurled
like straw-filled dolls against the white marble walls of
the throne room...
