Can they strike a blow for solar system freedom?
Andrew wanted a new start, far from a fallen USA under foreign hegemony. The American colony on a moon of Jupiter needed nuclear power technicians like him. To get there, he must journey for months on board a Russian ship.
Not alone. Locked in with fellow American colonists who proclaim the New Covenant, just like him. But soon he discovers they worship God and venerate the Presidents with far more piety than he feels. Can he share their intense level of faith? Or fake it?
If he fails, he'll end up scorned by every American he'll ever meet. For five months trapped on the ship. For the rest of his life in the cramped tunnels of a Jovian moon.
Then the leader's beautiful and headstrong daughter enlists him in a daring plan promising new hope for Americans across the solar system.
