Disgusted with God’s plan for Judgment Day, Satan has quit his job and
abandoned Hell in favor of a quiet retirement in Washington, D.C. But
life on Earth is tricky for an ex-angel with a short fuse and no
impulse control. When a parking attendant mysteriously bursts into
flames and a weight-challenged woman somehow ends up in low-Earth
orbit, Satan finds that he has attracted the attention of several
meddlesome federal agencies. Even worse, there are signs that the
governor of Texas has somehow gone ahead and started up the end of the
world without him.
The Prince of Darkness heads for the Lone Star State, where he tangles
with a megalomaniacal televangelist, joins the Militant Arm of the
American Geriatrics Association, and wields the Flaming Shotgun of
Divine Justice at a guy whose hobbies include invading churches to
denounce ritualized cannibalism. Through it all, one thing is clear:
Someone has to put a stop to Judgment Day. Now, having spent
millennia trying to wreck the place, the Devil may be the world’s only
hope.
