Publisher's Synopsis
A remodelling of the classically charming and na ve sixth century Christian tale, The Voyage of Saint Brendan. The nation is in the iron claw of capitalism, Christianity's basic principles are flouted daily, the South has won the Civil War, slavery is widespread, exploitation rampant and God - now working as a janitor at Tastee Freez with late-onset Alzheimer's - is rapidly losing the plot. In an effort to obliterate his botched creation from memory, the fallen divinity recruits retail worker Brad Power to enlist a crew of 12 for a seafaring adventure.
