The infamous former UN cultural anthropologist, Jacques Levague aka ATHEISTMAN is traveling in a remote part of Australia by charter aircraft with six others. The plane crashes in a storm and the passengers become castaways on a desert island.

   Two passengers are smuggling heroin. Levague stumbles onto this fact and attempts to steal the drugs. The story deals with a deadly struggle between Levague and the smugglers to survive the ordeal of staying alive, getting rescued, and coming out with $2.2m in contraband.

   The book also charts the development of ATHEISTMAN, from the famous comic strip character of the 1960s, through his fatwa for allegedly Insulting the Prophet, and finally, to his ritual circumcision and admittance into the Australian Aboriginal Crocodile Cult.

   Will God save the plane crash survivors before they descend into savagery and madness? Don’t bet on it.
