God, the New Interventionist by Eugene Plugg

Title: God, the New Interventionist 

Author: Eugene Plugg

Publisher: not known 

Source book: The Woman Who Died a Lot by Jasper Fforde (Thursday Next #7)

This book by Eugene Plugg is quoted at the beginning of Chapter 3 of The Woman Who Died a Lot. The Almighty, which is to say, God, or possibly the Global Standard Deity, is suddenly threatening to Smite the world. This kind of activity has not been seen since biblical times and it’s causing major anxiety around the planet but particularly in Swindon. Eugene Plugg tells us that the reason for the current reversion to Old Testamentism has spawned a thousand debates on late-night chat shows, none of which has so far provided a coherent answer. Are we surprised?

Also featuring in The Woman Who Died a Lot is Mankind and the Modern Smiting by Charles Fang. More Smiting anxiety. This book too seems to have been rushed into print to take advantage of the Smiting crisis that afflicts the world.
