The problem with discovering a writer you like at the beginning of their career is that you have to wait for them to write more books since they don't have a shelf full of their stuff at the library or bookstore. I bought and finished Fated the week it released, and now I realize that I gotta wait for S.G. Browne to write a new book. I almost wish that I hadn't read him at all until about five years or so in the future when (hopefully) he'll have several books out that I could read in a giant frenzy instead of having to wait for the next one. 
 Immortal incarnations of various aspects of the universe and human nature walk around Earth disguised as people to carry out the jobs given to them by God, better known to his employees as Jerry. But Fate (a/k/a Fabio) is feeling disgruntled after two-hundred and fifty thousand years. He's responsible for the 85% of the humans that aren't on the path of Destiny, and he's sick of watching them fail to live up to their best case scenarios through bad choices, laziness, greed, fear, etc. He's also jealous that his co-worker Destiny gets to handle all the 'special' people who will do great things with their lives while he's stuck with the losers. 
 Fate spends his time hanging out with his best friends Karma, Gluttony and Sloth, having non-contact sex with Destiny and regretting an argument with best friend Death (a/k/a Dennis) that has left them not speaking for the last 500 years. 
 All that changes when Fate sees Sara. She's a special person on the Path of Destiny, but when he keeps running into her, Fate finds himself falling for a human woman for the first time. But loving Sara might interfere with Jerry's plans for her and leads to Fate breaking all the rules when it comes to his influence over humans. 
 S.G. Browne is like a hybrid of Christopher Moore and Chuck Palahniuk. His first supernatural comedy, Breathers, was a terrific book that put a fresh and funny spin on zombies. With Fated, he shows that he was not a one-hit wonder. 
 Browne's already proved can come up with unique ideas and then use to deliver both humor and tragedy at the same time. He's got a talent for getting laughs out of his sci-fi concepts, but still delivering touching drama at the same time. 
 Write faster, Mr. Browne.
