God's just been a deep-freeze coma in the Arctic. Strapped for cash, the Vatican has sold the body (a bargain at $1.3 billion!) to Baptists in Florida. Enterprising souls that they are, theyve turned the Corpus Dei into a popular two-mile-long theme-park attraction at Orlandos Celestial City USAhooked up to the largest life-support system on earth. Then things get weird. Martin Candle, a justice of the peace whos suffered a series of devastating setbacks, decides to put Him on trial in The Hague for crimes against humanity. Now, to accumulate evidence for the prosecution, Candle enters Gods brain on a steamer to find out what in the world the Almighty could possibly have been thinking all these years.
