As the centuries have passed, some of the people of Samaria
have begun to suspect that their god Jovah is really a
spaceship orbiting the planet. Archangel Bael seeks to
destroy the small dissident sect of Jacobites that spreads
this heretic philosophy. Bael is particularly interested in
arresting one of the young Jacobites named Tamar, but she
falls under the protection of the angel Jared, who just
might be named the next Archangel. At the same time, the
angel Lucinda learns that her mother was a Jacobite—and
Lucinda herself might have the key to uncovering the truth
about Jovah.

Interesting tidbit: When that gorgeous cover flat arrived, I took it around the office where I worked at the time and said, “Would this image make you want to read this book?” One of my co-workers said, “It makes me want to meet the model.” I got my copy of the trade paperback signed by JJP, so it’s a highlight of my library.
My favorite scene: The scene where Lucinda and Tamar meet for the first time. Though I also love the extended section in Ileah between Jared and Tamar.
