Dismas is the name of the forgiven thief on the cross next to Christ - the last man ever forgiven by Him. The author puts a fresh twist to this story by choosing a modern day setting. In the twentieth century, God puts Dismas back on earth to destroy the world with fire, as is foretold in the bible. However, he is not told what to do with his ability to control fire by will. This novel closely examines Dismas' hard struggle to find his purpose in life and what he should do with his power.
