Description
A restless power is growing…
“… The message that had come through the hotel’s commset three hours before the show was brief and to the point: if Dorland Avery took the stage tonight, he would be killed.”
Dorland Avery is a psi-player, a master storyteller without words. Suddenly he is targeted for assassination and no one can figure out why.
On Sanctuary, Avery’s homeland, a fanatical cult religion is tightening its stranglehold on the colonists.
And he’s the only man who can save them.
But it seems they’re not the only ones looking for him…
The oppressive Holy Order has bred a ruthless regime, controlling the planet’s population by high decree, preventing unsanctioned marriages and births, creating laws as forms of idolatry, and manufacturing new ‘gods’ of Tal Tahir, an ancient race of intelligents that came to the planet 200 years before.
The world of Sanctuary is close to collapse.
If the Order are ever to be stopped, the colonists must go right to the source. Avery and his companion Paul must set out with the Resistance to find the Temple of the Holy Order.
But when they arrive, Avery and company are witnesses to something they have never encountered before.
A horrific, ancient ritual has been invoked…
A new power has awoken.
The unstable force of shin-ka is lurking, ready to strike – motivating the movements of the Holy Order, and drawing the Resistance into its grasp.
A Plague of Gods is a thrilling, mysterious sci fi novel, blending elements of speculative fiction with space opera and fantasy alike. It was previously published as ‘Clarion’.
William Greenleaf was born in Illinois, spent most of his life in Southern Arizona, and now resides in the beautiful high desert near Santa Fe, New Mexico. He holds a business degree from Arizona State University and worked as a corporate strategic and financial planner before changing careers in 1988 to become a professional writer.
