The Church permitted nothing newamp;mdash;no new inventions, no new understandings of the world.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhat no one knew was that the Church was an elaborate fraudamp;mdash;a high-tech system established by a rebel faction of Safehold's founders, meant to keep humanity hidden from the powerful alien race that had destroyed old Earth.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThen awoke Merlyn Athrawes, cybernetic avatar of a warrior a thousand years dead, felled in the war in which Earth was lost.
