Description:
After a worldwide disaster strikes Earth, the planet is taken over by a fanatical religious theocracy, intent on maintaining human genetic and religious purity. Scientist Victor Hansen flees with a staff of non-genetically modified humans and young members of his newly created race, the Selkies, to Marseguro, a distant water world. But their peace and freedom is threatened when Chris Keating, a secret Believer seeking revenge on the Selkies for his father's death, activates a distress signal that draws a strike force from Earth—one of whom is Victor Hansen's own grandson, Richard. What Richard Hansen discovers may alter not only his own destiny but that of Marseguro and Earth as well.
