The story, told through science fiction, expresses the belief that world peace is possible and can be everlasting.
The writer uses a clever technique of telling the story as a history of a distant planet. It describes a 500 year war between two opposing nations, one representing corporate and the other religious zeal, and catalogues their struggle to finally come together.
Soon however the reader comes to realise that this struggle could be the history of Earth in the future.
The plot turns in many remarkable ways but mostly the book seeds in the mind a desire to think about the worlds it describes and how they may have come about.
The characters are finely drawn, not the least is the narrator, Sena, whose voice begins the narration in a most intriguing way.
She has a poised intimate voice and her method of addressing the reader is arresting:
"I am a woman from a star system about twelve light-years from Earth. If you choose to believe me, my story might be considered a history lesson—how to achieve unity and peace—a lesson that Earth desperately needs. If you choose to not believe I’m real, my tale might be considered a science fiction story about how to achieve unity and peace…
I'll proceed on the premise that I am real."
How can we resist such an invitation to listen?… (altro)
