  1. 1. Flesh

    A crew of spacefarers encounters a lost colony world where a physically resurrected Christ-like figure is worshiped through ritualized sexual rites, and an outsider becomes entangled in the cult’s power struggles; the novel uses its science-fiction premise to provocatively examine faith, desire, hypocrisy, and the tensions between modern morals and ancient religious practice.
