Expatria Incorporated [Paperback]

Keith Brooke (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: July 1, 2001

...AND THE LORD COMMANDED HER TO UNPLUG For Katya Tatin, a passionate devotee of the Holy Corporation of GenGen, the mission to the recently rediscovered colony of Expatria is much more than a chance to spread the gospel - it offers a break with the past on Earth and a chance to reconfirm her faith. On Expatria itself, and on the ancient arkships that orbit it, the news of the impending arrival of a mission from Earth further complicates an already murderously complex web of religious and political intrigue. For some, it looks like salvation from a backward-looking, superstition-ridden society; for others, it looks suspiciously like an invasion.
