Book description
Here is the saga of humanity reduced, by an implacable alien enemy, to
inhabiting a single colony on the distant world of Safehold.
To avoid drawing the attention of the enemy through the busy signals of
an industrial civilization, the human rulers of Safehold have taken an
extraordinary measure. With mind control and hidden high technology,
they have built a religion in which every Safeholdian believes, one
designed to keep Safehold society medieval and unnoticed forever. After
disagreement about the wisdom and justice of this course, the dissenters
were ruthlessly eliminated. Centuries have passed and now, in a hidden
chamber on Safehold, an android initiates a rebirth set in motion
centuries before. A rebirth that will provide the only remaining humans
with their last chance to learn the truth and to rejoin the universe.
It is destined to be a tremendous undertaking, unfolding a story of
deception and ignorance, freedom and tyranny, and the liberating power
of the truth.
