From the Publisher:
"Demon Azzie Elbub, winner of perdition's Evil Deed Award, wants to create a cultural artifact for his side so attractive that humanity will want to do Bad's work. The answer strikes him in a flash. Azzie will use his Evil Deed bonus to commission a great play in which the Seven Deadly Sins are shown to be the true path to a fine life. But the angel Babriel has gotten wind of the scheme, and sets in motion a duel of titanic--and hilarious--proportions, reaching from the halls of Limbo to the very edge of the new millennium, in this charming and deliciously enjoyable novel from two of the greatest sly storytellers on either side of the afterlife.
From the Back Cover:
"Zelazny and Sheckley make for a synergy that's just about unequaled in fantasy humor."--Minneapolis Star-Tribune
On a devilish sabbatical in Europe, Azzie discovers that morality plays are all the rage. He decides to strike back by producing an "immorality play", in which seven nondescript human pilgrims will be allowed by magic to attain their hearts' desires. But the forces of Good are determined to close the play before it opens. New characters suddenly start roaming the stage, such as a Grateful Dead-listening Cyclops, and Azzie's own protagonists begin changing their hearts' desires on the slightest whim. This is one theatrical production that could do without an angel - and there's even worse news waiting in the wings...
