| book description |

Wyrmâ€™s mother always told him he was special, that he was the World Soul whoâ€™d bring peace to the galaxy. But sheâ€™s babbling now, committed to an asylum, leaving the sickly 10-year-old on a perilous journey to find his father. That father is none other than Anacharsis Stifler, the man who discovered the Plasma in old Earthâ€™s ruins, a weapon thatâ€™s allowed the atheist Archosians to liberate planet after planet from their superstitious beliefs, whether they want to be liberated or not. When Anacharsis returned to Earth to find a cure for his wife, he vanished, setting off not only Wyrmâ€™s desperate trek, but an invasion of the fragile world by Archosian High Commander Sebe Mordent, who canâ€™t allow anyone else to find whatever secrets remain. Meanwhile, the Pantheon, an uneasy collection of diverse faiths, approach their old foes, the Kundun Slave-kings, in the hope of forming an alliance to stop the atheist expansion. En route, Wyrm is forced to throw in with a manipulative gender-shifting alien, a war criminal, a genocidal female scientist, and the childlike woman Calico. But is Calico harmless, or a visitor from Earthâ€™s past sent to judge whether humanity is worth preserving? The Stars Within is a sprawling sci-fi epic, populated with complex, at times flawed, at times heroic, but always real characters. Political intrigue, theological musings, and a tightly-woven action-driven story play out in six intertwining narratives set in a fully realized universe on the verge of mass war.
