On Idun, a colony world founded as a haven for religious dissidents, an artificial god has begun to run amok. Its followers have become the maddened recipients of disturbing and seethingly violent visions, and some fanatics begin turning to off-planet terrorist strikes against those who had rejected their cult.

When the wrong person falls victim to such a senseless attack, a young scientist reluctantly mobilizes his resources to travel with his beautiful but lethal genetically engineered bodyguard to Idun. There the two hope to find a way to end the bloodshed without leaving a planet of believers berift of their deity, but they may not be able to accomplish this audacious mission without an inside connection...
