Introduction

A Harvard professor, an evangelical preacher, a self-described Rabbi, a German dominatrix, and the proprietor of a Scottish donkey refuge walk into a bar... The End Times dominate their discussion. Agreeing that Christianity, Judaism, and Islam are all true religions, and recognizing that each faith prophesies a Messiah riding on a donkey, they debate two scenarios:

The Scenarios

The three-donkey solution: one donkey per Savior with the three racing to see who can get to Jerusalem first.

The one-donkey solution: the true Messiah being the one whose devotees can corral the immortal messianic donkey that has previously borne Abraham, Moses, Jesus, and Muhammad.

The Plot

Eight years elapse. The donkey genome is decoded. American evangelicals and Iran's messianic President Ahmadinejad deploy secret agents to lay hands on the sacred donkey as identified by its DNA.

The reader follows Toots, the feisty daughter of the refuge owner, and her boyfriend Fritz, a student of the dominatrix, as they seek to escape from these nefarious groups.

Israeli intelligence and a sweet and devout CIA agent come to realize that the DNA search can be circumvented by getting hold of Fritz, who has actually encountered, and conversed with, the one true messianic donkey: Yafur. And then there is Yafur's evil brother Ufair.
