The Afterlife Adventures of Four Loonies in a Bin Volume II: The Death of a Manuscript

Earth becomes infected with the life code of the most vile and wicked LostSouls from other universes. They have been strategically planted by NoOne - the Devil – to build an army for multiverse conquest. Soon, unimaginable horrors are released upon humans and animals alike.
Only Earth's Artificial Intelligence and four institutionalized teen boys at a mental hospital, chosen by the creator, TheOne, have a chance to stop the growth of NoOne's army. The four must master the "Journey of the Dead" and quantum physics to prevent cosmological catastrophe. They must elude the vicious psychopathic Twins imbued with NoOne's supernatural abilities. They must learn what it means to be a man. They must be willing to sacrifice their lives by fighting in the afterlife to protect 'beyond the Veil', a spiritual realm in which divine connectivity gives all life its purpose for existence.
