Book two. Hanna York and his shipmates are stranded on a terraformed Mars where they discover they are prisoners in an advanced civilization where humanity is controlled by genetically engineered priests. Caretakers of the human race, with a duty of care for the survival of the species, they have implemented the doctrines of the 'Ark of Corporeity. Hanna's arrival has upset a delicate balance and set into motion a series of events that could change the future of the human race forever, as the ancient prophecies of 'The Fifth Book of Sheringa' are now in play and he confronts the realities of...
