Galactic Monastic (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781499296723)

The Beeyons' sudden incursion into the world and their remit to exploit planetary resources had caused the rapid disintegration of human civilization and threatened the very survival of humankind. It had been said that all youths were to be captured and subject to harvesting, yet one particular boy was spared. He was taken off-planet and made part of a New World. For a period of almost two hundred years he was tasked with the care of other protected young people, although he appreciated the scope for his involvement in duties other than this was limited. He was deprived of information and, even if honored with the title of Galactic Monastic, he was barred from holding any real responsibility. He enacted the ceremonies according to requirement but, ultimately, allowed complacency and acquiescence to dominate his life. He became serene and docile. Consequently he was overwhelmed when, without any forewarning, he was advised that the New World had moved in directions nobody expected. The prospects for all these human youths and their descendants had fallen exclusively into his hands. He must act now before it was too late. He must accept that the rites which were so sublime to his sensitivities would not be sufficient. It would not be enough to remain sheltered by the reverential. He must perform these new endeavors with certitude to prevent disaster. He must act now!
