"The most provocative satiric voice in science fiction." -- Washington Post Arguably SF's reigning master of satire, Morrow has already blessed the genre with two previous volumes of short fiction and the monumental Godhead trilogy, in which a deceased Jehovah literally falls to Earth. His latest collection demonstrates that his rapier wit has lost none of its edge as it encompasses twisted scenarios ranging from Martians invading Central Park to having the fates of other worlds rest upon the scores of American football games. In ‘Auspicious Eggs,' global warming forces the Catholic Church to enact rites of ‘terminal baptism,' in which the souls of infants deemed infertile are immediately sent heavenward. In a shorter tale, King Kong and Godzilla pay their respects to 9/11 victims. During the title story, a crazed genetic scientist kidnaps a hapless do-gooder and harvests his altruism genes. All the stories manifest Morrow's penchant for exploring the dark underbelly of technological promise and extracting quirky moral conundrums. Morrow's fans will revel, and first-time readers may find his grim humor making fans of them, too." — Booklist Morrow's shorter tales possess...a keen sense of folly and morality, a witty inventiveness...." — SciFiction.com Amply displays [Morrow's] ability to juggle absurdity, tragedy, irony, and outrage...." — Locus ...darkly delightful satire." — Cemetery Dance, "The most provocative satiric voice in science fiction." -- Washington Post "Arguably SF's reigning master of satire, Morrow has already blessed the genre with two previous volumes of short fiction and the monumental Godhead trilogy, in which a deceased Jehovah literally falls to Earth.
