"In the beginning, the Reverend Jesse Custer was just another small-town minister slowly diluting his faith with regular applications of whiskey. But then came Genesis--a rampaging spirit that merged with Jesse's soul and tore both his life and his congregation apart. Now Jesse has a new mission: to track down an absent God and make Him answer for his deeds. But the Lord of Hosts is elusive, and his allies on Earth are determined to harness the power of Genesis to further their own twisted ends. In the aftermath of an apocalyptic confrontation in Arizona's Monument Valley, the Reverend Custer has returned from the brink of death to find that his world has been shattered-- but Salvation is still within reach."--Dust jacket flap.
