A science fiction thriller by this Grand Master of scifi, a book which mixes the politics of interstellar colonialism with religious zealotry. A small human colony struggles to survive natural disasters (frequent earthquakes that threaten to destroy everything the settlers manage to create), shortages of supplies from an overtaxed Earth, interstellar politics, and a religious cult with their own agenda.
