His examination of cultish thought is respectful, intriguing, and funny, in a narrative that never loses dramatic momentum. -- \u003ci\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003eLay preacher Obadiah Wheeler is responsible for conducting a group of missionaries into unassigned territory, a stretch of Nevada wilderness open to evangelistic efforts. Obadiah's faith is shaky at best and no match for the tempting charms of the co-proprietor of a desert museum, raven-haired beauty Delandra Hummer. Together the two set off into the vast emptiness of the Mojave in search of a buyer for the museum's prize exhibit, an extraterrestrial relic. Their hilarious road trip -- punctuated by encounters with UFO cults, wild rednecks, and hippie burnouts -- throbs with violence and madness as well as the possibility of spiritual enlightenment.
