**Short fiction of biblical proportions–and bent–from the science fiction satirist and author of The Godhead Trilogy.** James Morrow, the most provocative satiric voice in science fiction, unabashedly delves into matters both sacred and secular in this collection of short stories buoyed by his deliciously irreverent wit ( *The Washington Post* ). Among the dozen selections is the Nebula Award-winning story, The Deluge, in which a woman of ill repute is rescued by the crew of the ark, who must deal with the consequences of their misguided act of mercy. Also included is a follow-up to the Tower of Babel fable, an unprecedented nativity, and an attempt to stand so-called creation science on its head. Nothing is spared in a collection that deliciously skewer[s] not only Judeo-Christian mythology but other sacred cows of modern society, from capitalism to New Age spiritualism ( *Booklist* ). Morrow’s is a blend of parody and commentary which challenges readers to reflect upon the human spiritual condition. — *Midwest Book Review*
