This novel is the story of a man who defies the most unchallengeable conformity of all in a suburban world of conformers- a belief in God.

When Clifford Murchison cries out that there is no God and that if there were He would have to be the devil incarnet, he finds himself impelled headlong on an atheistic, amoral quest for what he considers truth.

No man, not even an atheist, Murchison soon finds out, is an island. His godlessness, following the accidental death of his fiancee touches and changes the lives of many people.

This novel of adventure and peril in the realm of faith, is a story to challenge and move those who believe deeply - and those who do not believe at all.
