Three Catholic activists, a nun, deacon and priest, break into the MegaMuerte Corporation plant and destroy nuclear warhead triggers. They wait and wait and wait for the cops to arrest them. Finally, they call 9-1-1 to report the military-industrial complex's conspiracy to blow up the earth. What happens next is a full-tilt romp. If Kurt Vonnegut and Carl Hiaasen had a love-child, this novella would be it. All profits from this novella go to support the Father Charlie Mulholland Catholic Worker House in Garner, N. C., a pacifist house of hospitality for homeless women and children.
