« Transsubstantiation etc. » is a science-fictional version of the New Testament, especially focusing on the Life of Jesus. In this story, he becomes Rubbi Niebieski, a character with supernatural powers, driving across the arid territories of the Zones in his SixWheeler to finally reach Estero, where he knows that death awaits him…
