About this ebook
A standalone military science fiction adventure from, L. E. Modesitt, author of the bestselling Saga of Recluce series, The Parafaith War combines hard science fiction adventure with an insightful examination of the relationship between the sacred and the secular.
In the far future among the colonized worlds of the galaxy, there's a war going on between the majority of civilized worlds and a colonial theocracy.
Trystin Desoll grows up fighting against religious fanatics and becomes a hero, a first-class pilot, then, amazingly, a spy.
What do you do if you're a relatively humane soldier fighting millions of suicidal volunteers on the other side who know that they are utterly right and you are utterly wrong, with no middle ground?
Trystin Desoll has a . . . plan.

Reviews for The Parafaith War
21 ratings2 reviews
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Nice book. Slow start. But last 20 percent is worth reading the whole book
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5There are two civilizations space faring civilizations of man; a theocracy with a population problem & a technocratic society with a resource problem. They have limited contact, generally through attacks of the theocracy to take over planets which the technocrats have mostly terraformed. Told from the point of view of a soldier of the technocrats, a cyborg, we see a small portion of the war & the moral decisions he faces. There is an alien race to highlight the moral dilemma.Well done & a pretty quick read. Typical Modesitt character & setting. The technocratic society is very 'green'. It's not great literature, but entertaining & interesting. While there is a lot of technology, he doesn't get bogged down in details & leaves a lot to the reader's imagination.
