It is the far future, and the giant spaceship, The Whorl, has travelled for forgotten generation towards its destination. Lit inside by the artificial Long Sun, The Whorl is so huge that you can see whole cities in the sky. And now the gods of The Whorl begin to intervene in human affairs. A god speaks to Patera Silk, a clergyman at work in the schoolyard of his church. Silk must go on a quest to save his church and his people. At the Publisher's request, this title is being sold without Digital Rights Management Software (DRM) applied.

I glanced at my shelves for a #yellow cover for #CuriousCovers and this one definitely qualifies.

Good book, too. Maybe the best of the Books of the Long Sun? It‘s either Lake or Nightside.

Listen, there is no possible way I can give a concise plot rundown in the space provided.

Let‘s just say that the moment Silk looks outside of the vast generation ship that holds the remainder of humanity and sees the stars, the first person in 300 years to do so, it was beautiful.

Also: robot soldiers, possession, a submarine, a giant lake monster, and a political revolution.

Vol 2 of The Book of the Long Sun, Vol 7 of The Solar Cycle.
