Sweet Chariot Eamon Sweeney

When Naomi Lohan picks up the plaintive signal from the Magog artefact she is unaware that it has been waiting three thousand years for just this moment... The datastore of the artefact contains much unpalatable detail yet itis a treasure trove of information about the origins of human life on Kalal. Many Kalalese are startled to find that thesemi-mythical figure, the Great Prophet Elijah, actually existed... And, that they are all descendants of his brotherhood of prophets. The information shakes a complacent and rigidly hierarchical societyto its roots. Constrained by the command of the Lord Yahweh to "bring His chosenpeople back to Sion" the mission to the Old World becomes an urgentimperative. Instrumental in this momentous endeavour are thecharismatic Governor of New South Judah, Daniel Cone and the machine-intelligence expert, Dr. Anna Rosen. For very different reasons the two are chosen to join the groupdestined to rediscover the Old World - 110 light years away andshrouded in mysterious radio-silence. It will be a long and hazardous trip and, though they do not know it,only the first move in an immense conflict...
