In 2693 humanity has ventured out into the stars, colonizing a large portion of the galaxy and forging the Terran Empire. In response to the Great Religious War, all religious faith and expression has been banned. Seeking to preserve their faith, some have ventured out beyond the boundaries of the Empire and its anti-religious zeal. Others continue to practice religion illegally within the very heart of the Empire, spreading their beliefs and smuggling their scriptures from planet to planet. These religious renegades are hunted down by Commander Rigel Simon, an imperial officer tasked with eliminating the threat these criminals represent. But when disrupting a routine smuggling operation brings Rigel face to face with a messiah long-thought to be dead, will Rigel discover that religion is not the threat the Empire fears or uncover a plot more sinister than anyone could have imagined?
