{"product_id":"2940013007178","title":"The Bones of God","description":"It is 2558 AD.  Mankind has reached the stars, but only because the alien Stekoni race has given us their technology.  For humankind, the Zakkaist Church -- a melding of the three largest monotheistic religions -- rules both politically and religiously.  But in the veils between the stars, the voice of an alien God roars, and the coming of a new messiah has been foretold:  the Sartius Exori.  The Black Beginning.  Colin Fairwood, a cynical and horribly scarred man, hears that voice, but he ignores it until a miraculous escape from death leaves him with strange powers and a bitter faith.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"It cost me an entire night's sleep...
