The best science fiction books by author R. Peter Ubtrent. When humanity first set out to explore the stars, they discovered that they were alone, for they never ran into any other intelligent life-forms. Because of this, human religion came to the conclusion that God had only made man and all else was the creation of Satan. Thus, when human warships finally encountered Sslithax warships, the stage was set for a war of unbridled brutality. The wars raged for decades and in the process humanity split between those who professed a belief in religion and those who did not. Humanity became more and more proficient at making war and when they encountered other non-human species, they warred with them also. Soon, people began to believe that waging war was what humanity was best at and had been created for. Little did they know that they were closer to the truth then they realized. This is the epic tale of four individuals from four different cultures, forced to work together as they discover that what they had been told all these eons was not necessarily the truth.
