Reverend Barnabus J. Lafferty had a divine calling:
Bring the One World Faith to the heathens of the galaxy.
The galaxy had other plans.
Armed with a cargo hold of holy water (patent pending) and unshakable confidence, Barney set out to save civilizations that were perfectly fine, thank you very much. From telepaths who called his sermons "loud meat-flap noises" to hedonists who literally worshiped his hologram projector, each planet delivered a humbling revelation:
- Zenovians: "Your 'sin' is a you problem."
- Pleasure Prime: "Why fear desire when you could channel it?"
- The Mechanocracy: "Your god is an outdated operating system."
But when Barney crosses paths with Dr. Elara Voss-a rival missionary who actually listens to the aliens-he faces his greatest test yet: What if the universe doesn't need saving? And what if the person who really needs converting... is him?
A riotous cosmic romp for fans of 'he Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy and Good Omens, The Missionary Position- A True Believer's Struggle to Convert the Universe is a hilarious, heartfelt satire about faith, failure, and the divine comedy of humility.
