The rebels are rising.
The Covenant still stands, but a few sense a false note in the story of life, death, and...after. The second set of tales spans time as humanity starts to learn the game being played by these gods. A game that is not accepted by all. Faith, evolution, and innocence are tested in the battle to survive. Do the ends justify the means?
A Book Club discussion guide is included.
Look for the series conclusion in 2027!
BookLife Prize on "Negotiation", a story in Resistance:
"...a meditation on faith, empire, and sin that reimagines divine revelation as corruption, [a] unique combination of theological myth and psychological horror. Father Martine’s 1830s descent and Vincent Migneron’s 1870s ascent form a mirrored structure of spiritual disintegration...as archetypes of corrupted faith, each is intelligent, sincere, and yet consumed by inner sin. Their transformations are tragic...each arc culminating in satisfying revelation.”
