Sent on a mission of good will to represent Earth on an alien world, Alice isn't quite sure what she'll find. With her pet cat Meowhugs, an obnoxious parrot named Mara, and a ship named Joe as her only companions, Alice finds herself trapped on the time-dilating rim of a black hole, escaping just in time to watch the sun devour our solar system. Meanwhile--or perhaps at some other time, entirely--Amunet and Keku are students in a special school in a 10-Dimensional world. In their classes, they are expected to create Universes out of chaos, divinity, and just a dash of dark energy. But Universe creation is not an exact science, with every attempt requiring its own roll of the dice. When a creator makes a mistake, it rains stars and planets. Is there something they can do to help Alice in her quest for a new home? A blend of literary storytelling and unexpected humor, "How to Make a Big Bang"is filled with enough science fact that readers might just learn something along the way.
