In 2344, Terra is the most backward planet ever granted membership in the Galactic Confetory. It has two exports: the consumingly immersive medium called senso ... and Earth religions, which jaded Galactics just can't get enough of.
From the planet Vatican, Roman Catholicism teaches that God sends his Son to world after world. The Church levies vast fees to reveal which of each world's historical religious figures (if any) truly Incarnated the Cosmic Christ.
Then a famed mathematician calculates where God will send his son next ... a ruined planet where most offworlders are forbidden.
A lascivious Cardinal ... a bumbling Mormon trideevangelist ... a vengeful planetary mining magnate ... everyone wants a piece of the newest Christ. Never mind that the man himself is a conscious fraud who can't control his closest followers.
This tour de farce builds a complex future world, confronts classic issues of faith and infotainment, and spews mind-numbingly horrendous puns. A must-read satire!
