Why it's awesome: Lyda Rose is a scientist who helped develop a drug with a side effect of making the user feel the presence of God, whether they want to or not. Lyda and her colleagues accidentally overdosed on the drug, and it had permanent effects on all of them. When the drug starts being distributed on the street, Lyda and Ollie (Lyda's ex-government-agent girlfriend) have to find out why. What I've just written sounds grim, but it's also very funny in places.
