About This Book

In a desperate bid for survival, the Holy Order of St. Brigid and St. Brendan must navigate the perils of an unknown world.

For the men and women of the battered pilgrim vessel IONA, members of the Holy Order of St. Brigid and St. Brendan, it was the last chance. Even with survival at stake, they must obey their holy order's rule: they cannot invade, they must be invited to land. And they don't know enough to be sure of securing a welcome.

The Holy Captain Abbess Dierdre Cardinal Fitzgerald sends Seamus O'Neil as a spy. A crack soldier and second-rate bard, Seamus is looking for love, but diplomacy isn't his strong suit. The land is beautiful and the women lovely and loving—except for the gorgeous yet chilly Marjetta—but paradise it is not.

In fact, the land is more dangerous than Seamus could have imagined. It will be a miracle if he and Marjetta survive—much less pull off a landing for the IONA. The Final Planet is space survivalist fiction at its finest, from acclaimed author and priest Andrew M. Greeley. A thrilling blend of Celtic folklore, space opera, and adventure, it explores themes of faith, social transformation, and the fight for species survival.
