Summary

The sisters of the Order of Saint Rita navigate the far reaches of space and challenges of faith in the follow-up to the Golden Crown Literary Society Award finalist Sisters of the Vast Black.

“We lit the spark, maybe we should be here for the flames.”

Not long ago, Earth’s colonies and space stations threw off the yoke of planet Earth’s tyrannical rule. Decades later, trouble is brewing in the Four Systems, and Old Earth is flexing its power in a bid to regain control over its lost territories.

solid second outing for the slug nuns

an solid second chapter looking at the consequences of the Sisters' intervention on the ringeye-plagued colony from the previous instalment. Trying to blend back into pious, removed poverty and anonymity, the Sisters find themselves icons of revolutionary action despite their best efforts, appalled at their mythologising, but coming to understand that the secessionist sentiment they have inadvertently created is larger than any one leader, martyr, colony, or small group of molusc-riding space nuns. The book looks at the failure of liberalism to stand up to tyranny, and uses the framings of organised religion, repressed sexuality, childhood conditioning, colonisation and a sort of biological determinism in the live ships to ask questions about free will. I hope there's a third volume because these stories are clever and exciting.
