In 1858, young priest Zebediah Goodnow and the orphaned Joanna pursue a murderous Giant and soon find themselves among the Martians. In 1957, astronaut Scott Winslow Hale takes his sick wife Helen to the shrine of the beatified Zebediah and, soon after, clashes with a stranger named Eddie. In a tangle of Providential events, perseverance and peace are drawn from the toil of Faith.

A breathtakingly ambitious work of adventure and cosmic wonder. Echoes some of the themes found in C.S.Lewis and Charles Williams. The work is a bit uneven at times, but that might just be due to the unusual style, which is almost magical realism. This is the kind of book that will linger with you.
