"e;. . . [ and a] deliciously wicked platform for satirizing past, present and all-too-likely future human frailties. . . ."e; Publishers Weekly"e;Agreeably subversive, sometimes hilarious."e; Kirkus ReviewsIn his twenty thousand years as a Company agent, Facilitator Joseph has been a priest in Egypt, a secretary to a Roman senator and a legionary, was in Byzantium for the Crusades, and rescued the Botanist Mendoza from the Spanish Inquisition.

And that's before the village is infiltrated by a spy preaching on behalf of a competing religion, one who sees Sky Coyote as the source of all evil. It's a lot for a god to juggle. And Joseph can't help but wonderif he does manage to save the villagers, what exactly is the Dr. Zeus Company saving them for . . . ?
