Résumé
Wealthy protagonist Morgan Jones believes that his days are numbered. He has known for some time that America's religion as well as its history as taught to America's school children is fallacious. Due to his failing health he realizes that it is time to set the record straight. In order to do so he needs the assistance of one of America's most famous televangelists. He chooses the darling of America's faith healers Miriam Starbuck to fill this role. Miriam is kidnapped and taken to Jones' abode.
Miriam is, of course, uncooperative at first. However, Miriam's reluctance is overcome when she is advised that tiny devices were deposited in her sedated body when she first arrived at Jones' villa. These devices were filled with a deadly agent which would be released at a predetermined time if she failed to accede to Jones' wishes. Part of Jones' strategy is to confront Miriam with the many inconsistencies and troubling passages in the Bible, and over time he forces her to admit that she is a fraud and that she has never cured anybody of anything.
Eventually, Jones wins Miriam over and she becomes a willing accomplice. Jones knows that when he releases Miriam, religious leaders and many high ranking politicians will want to be in attendance as she tells of her experience before every major news network in the country. When the time comes for Miriam's formal declaration it is within a large hall festooned with all sorts of decorations. Many of Miriam's former religious cohorts are in attendance.
The Vice President of the United States is also in the audience. This presents Jones the opportunity to confront these religious leaders and prove to the world that they are charlatans as well as hypocrites. Jones takes advantage of this opportunity to challenge the VP to take him up on a debate on various topics of historical interest to Jones. The VP cannot refuse under the circumstances. After Jones is successful in the first half of his adventure he then sets his sights on revealing the fanciful rendition of America's history peddled by the many blasphemers of the truth.
He is, of course, successful. Along the way, some useful and unique observations are made concerning religion, science, and America's contrary view of those countries different from our own.
