Description ▲
The two-mile frozen carcass of God found in this novel's predecessor, Towing Jehovah, is now the main attraction at a theme park called Celestial City USA. As the 80-million-ton Divine Body is maintained in a comatose state on the world's largest life support system, Martin Candle, Justice of the Peace of Abaddon Township files a complaint against God in the World Court at The Hague for crimes against humanity--ranging from the momentary suffering of innocent babies to the horrors of the Holocaust. Opposing Candle and his prosecution team is a devout Christian apologist who argues for God's goodness in the face of manifest evil. Interestingly enough, it is the Devil who acts as narrator.
