The novel comes out today, and luckily you can preview this tale of a renegade planet of innovators fighting a galaxy-spanning Church for free online before you pick up a copy at your local bookstore. The sequel to Off Armageddon Reef, it sounds like a version of His Dark Materials . . . but in space! Check out the preview chapters at The Fifth Imperium. Then buy the book!
