Pages of Biblical text have been appearing on every terminal throughout the network--disrupting the staff and costing the company a lot of time and work. But he's astonished to discover that the religious text tells the story of St. Vidicon of Cathode, who protects people from the consequences of Finagle's General Principle and its most famous corollary, Murphy's Law. Then his attempto to exorcise the virus places him face-to-face with the blessed saint. Father Vidicon needs a disciple to aid him in answering prayers, solving problems, and averting disasters across the globe. In exchange, the Saint will give Tony some much-needed help with his love life. Now Tony's providing tech support for a world in peril.
