Book description
While drifting in space, lost, due to navigational failure, a mineral
scout discovers God. When word gets out, academics from the studiums
across Orion scramble to gain the Entity's favour. However, not all the
sentients of Orion hold this 'god' in awe - some, like the philosophers
of Scolar and the Transhuman's of Extropy are deeply suspicious. Onto
the grand stage of inter-planetary academic politics, intellectual
conceit and dubious theology walks Baronessa Mira Fedor. Her planet has
been torn apart by the invasion of a race of giant tardigrades. Only the
Orion League of Sentient Species can lend aid, but OLOSS are preoccupied
with communicating with god. Mira, together with the larrikin,
misogynist Jo-Jo Rasterovich, is left to her own resources to find help.
In doing so she unmasks a galaxy-size intrigue. But will she live long
enough to tell anyone. . . ? Marianne de Pierres is the author of the
acclaimed Parrish Plessis and Sentients of Orion science fiction series.
The Parrish Plessis series has been translated into eight languages and
adapted into a Role Playing Game. Marianne is an active supporter of
genre fiction and has mentored many writers. She lives in Brisbane,
Australia, with her husband, three sons and three galahs.
