About This Book

A devout Adept with powers to probe others' thoughts is held captive by a charismatic, secular leader who pressures him to cede land and accept pragmatic responses to population and resource strains. Their exchanges set unwavering religious doctrine against appeals to biology, economics, and colonial expansion; the captor deploys persuasive rhetoric and social science to undermine faith while the Adept resists, insisting on spiritual law and moral order. The tale examines tensions between faith and technocratic authority, ecological limits and social engineering, and the personal costs of an ideological confrontation.
