This is the second novel in the Elizabeth Stanton series. Having acquired a new body, that of a young girl who has nearly died from a viper bite, she befriends the young Great Messiah, Jes. He has the goal to bring spiritual freedom to his people. Follow the exciting action as he attempts to bring such to his people in Juda Arad, a land that has been under the domination of the Centurions for a great many years. When he fails, his family immigrates to a far distant island, West Reach, there to try to build a new life, renewing their goal to free all men. However, a new threat comes from the northern steppes, the Galt cavalrymen invade the countries of Tarra, wiping out the Centurion control over most all areas. Over a period of several years, these barbarian horsemen systematically loot all countries as they head for the greatest prize of all, Megalos itself. With the apparent death and resurrection of the Great Messiah, the ten disciples split into several groups and found the religion of Jehosanity, each with their own twists on the original preaching of Jes. Unbeknown to all except Bethany, Jes, and the druwids, several alien creatures are actually controlling the minds and the history and development of all the people on the planet. In an attempt to eliminate the grey giants, Jes is killed and the grey aliens eventually come after Bethany, perceiving her as their last threat to their secrecy on Tarra. Her relatively longer life is ended by an attack of these creatures. Thus, once more, she is forced to acquire a new body, to get back into the game of life.
