Carl's Doomsday Scenario
A massively overloaded soul crystal shut inside a Sheol Glass Reaper Case: an explosion 'large enough to rattle the teeth of a god,' status Explosion Imminent, un-stabilisable, and in Carl's inventory, where it will detonate the moment it leaves. The book's title, and the most dangerous thing he owns.
