The Ships Of Earth by Orson Scott Card
A religiously fractious community on a distant world, guided by a mysterious Oversoul intent on reconnecting humanity with its ancestral home, must leave their settled planet and build ships to return to Earth; as leaders rise and fall, loyalties are tested by political intrigue, betrayal, and the demands of prophecy, forcing individuals to choose between personal desires and the greater good. The story follows the tense preparations and perilous voyage while exploring themes of faith, leadership, cultural memory, and the moral costs of obedience as a people struggle to reclaim a mythic homeland.
