“Beyond the Father" sets the scene for the 8-book
Epic "gods on Trial: The Series," delving into life's
determination to transcend all limitation. Set on the planet Xżyber, citizens
of the Sub-median Region, imperfectly reborn into metal, oppress those who are
still organic. Elsewhere, in the Central Kingdom, religion supports royalty's
brutal domination of the lowest class. War over scarce resources is coming,
while revolution within each region is brewing, and none appear to know of the
eccentric god who created them. This entity watches, has fascinating
conversations with his often-wiser companion, occasionally learns but rarely
intervenes. The many levels and threads of struggle distract nearly all from a
far greater threat. Meanwhile, the young Prince Anglid's vision quest into the
unexplored Area X may ultimately change everything. However, just when you
think you know the direction of the story, the author has yet another surprise.
