Collision Course looks at the impact of two great liberal reforms in the 1960's, the Civil Rights Act and the immigration and Naturalization Act, and how these have shaped discussions of illegal immigration, housing, education, the work force, and other issues on the state and federal level in the past 40 years. It considers the 2000 census and recent propositions, particularly the controversial California propostions in the 1990s.

God is concerned about the state of the human condition. He sends his son, formerly known as Jesus and now known as Jerry O' back to Earth to read the world the riot act. Despite our great advances in technology, we have become coarsened and narcissistic. This time the son returns to Earth with company. The novel describes the fantastic odyssey of Jerry O' and his troupe. The novel veers between ribald fantasy, adventure and sharp commentary. The climax is stunning and dramatic. Jerry O' travels back to Earth as a modern young Irishman. He is accompanied by Vasco De Gama, Joan of Arc and Charles Dickens. De Gama is head of security, Joan is to be the strategist and Charles will chronicle the journey. A wayward, but well-meaning angel, Calliope, completes the team. The World does not take kindly to the intruders, and the Big Fellow, as the creator is known, watches closely from Paradise. Jerry O' is dogged and persistent and he tells the world where we are going wrong. Apostles have been appointed and they help to send the message. However, forces collide and the trip takes a fantastic final twist.
