Deus Irae

By: Philip K. Dick, Roger Zelazny

Narrated by: John Skelley

An artist searches for God so he can paint his portrait in Philip K. Dick’s collaboration with Roger Zelazny.
After World War III, the Servants of Wrath cult deified the mysterious Carlton Lufteufel, creator of the doomsday
weapon that wiped out much of humanity. But to worship the man, they need an image of him as a god, and
no one has ever seen him. So the high priests send a limbless master painter named Tibor McMasters into
the wilderness on a mission to find Lufteufel and capture his likeness. Unfortunately for Tibor, the nation’s
remaining Christians do not want him to succeed and are willing to kill to ensure that the so-called Deus Irae
remains hidden. This hallucinatory tale through a nuclear wasteland asks what price the artist must pay for art
and tries to figure out just what makes a god.©1976 Philip K. Dick and Roger Zelazny (P)2026 Recorded Books
