God Makers (en Inglés) - James Bryron Love

In a world that has largely abandoned faith, one organization has turned belief into the most sophisticated control system ever devised. The Rising Radiant Sun demands everything. Your name. Your assets. Your past. Even your eyes if necessary. In return it offers something that the modern world cannot. Absolute certainty. Complete belonging. The unshakeable knowledge that you are chosen and that everything you do serves a purpose larger than yourself.

At its center are four men who know exactly what they have built and exactly what it is worth. They have spent thirty years perfecting the machinery of devotion, and they are very good at what they do.

When circumstances force their hand they make a decision that takes everything they have built further than any organization of its kind has ever gone. To a world beyond reach. Beyond law. Beyond interference of any kind. A place where the experiment can continue without limit and without consequence.

What follows is unlike anything they planned for.

The planet they have claimed is not empty in the ways that matter. It has its own logic, its own order, its own way of receiving what arrives on its surface. Ancient and patient and entirely indifferent to the ambitions of the people who have come to build their kingdom on it.

The Rising Radiant Sun has always believed it controls everything it touches.

It has never encountered anything like this.
