Publisher Description
In a desperate bid for survival, the Holy Order of St. Brigid and St. Brendan must navigate the perils of an unknown world.
For the men and women of the battered pilgrim vessel IONA, members of the Holy Order of St. Brigid and St. Brendan, it was the last chance. Even with survival at stake, they must obey their holy order's rule: they cannot invade, they must be invited to land. And they don't know enough to be sure of securing a welcome.
The Holy Captain Abbess Dierdre Cardinal Fitzgerald sends Seamus O'Neil as a spy. A crack soldier and second-rate bard, Seamus is looking for love, but diplomacy isn't his strong suit. The land is beautiful and the women lovely and loving—except for the gorgeous yet chilly Marjetta—but paradise it is not.
In fact, the land is more dangerous than Seamus could have imagined. It will be a miracle if he and Marjetta survive—much less pull off a landing for the IONA. The Final Planet is space survivalist fiction at its finest, from acclaimed author and priest Andrew M. Greeley. A thrilling blend of Celtic folklore, space opera, and adventure, it explores themes of faith, social transformation, and the fight for species survival.
At the Publisher's request, this title is being sold without Digital Rights Management Software (DRM) applied.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Professor, priest and bestselling novelist Andrew M. Greeley's tale of love and conflict in a heathen world also gets a welcome reissue. In The Final Planet, Seamus O'Neill, an unwilling diplomat and spy for the space-traveling Holy Order of St. Brigid and St. Brendan, must secure an invitation from a planet's inhabitants for his battered ship to land a task made more difficult by saber-toothed tigers, planetary strife and his own self-doubt.
