Description
The planet Gannah sends out a distress call; they're in the throes of a resurgence of the Karkar plague. Dr. Pik, a descendant of the people who engineered the disease centuries before, is assigned to the task of
finding a cure and saving them from annihilation. Because of their
violent history, he hates the Gannahans and wishes they were all dead;
but his duty to the League of Planets and his professional ambition make
him swallow his racial resentment and comply with his orders.
By the
time he arrives with the rescue team, almost everyone is already
dead. The only survivor is a young woman, Dassa. Like her forefathers
for the past eight centuries, she’s a Christ-follower, but on their
planet He’s called the Yasha, which means Redeemer.
The Yasha tells her that she will not only recover from the plague, but
He will use her to repopulate the planet with a new race of Gannahans.
But she has no idea how He’s going to pull it off, especially with that
annoying Karkar doctor always hanging around.
Once she regains her
health, she and Pik have numerous adventures together, including an
attack by space pirates, a crash landing, and a treasure hunt. In the
midst of all that excitement, Dassa shares with Pik the Gospel story, which the Yasha has been proclaiming in the stars since the creation. But Pik won't listen to anything Dassa has to say. Will they ever settle their differences enough to enjoy Gannah as much as the reader does?
