Opis

Antwanesta is a pious young woman from the Western Theocracy. She is committed to cultivating the virtues of modesty, chastity, peace, forgiveness, love and faith; and to memorizing her trigonometry tables. However, she impetuously defies her mother, her priest, and her cultural heritage, by enrolling in the very secular Central College of Epodlo. At the college she is befriended by two secretive monarchists, a Libertarian polygamist, a charming Humanist who manages her personal life through science-Yea that will work-and a strong, handsome, ambitious, young man who folds his clothes neatly, and wants to rescue women from "the illusion of God." Take off that student robe and step into a hot bubbling pool with Antwanesta, Gretchin, Xiny, and Feli. Join them and their culturally diverse classmates, as they are challenged by assassination, earthquake, tsunamis, parents, political intrigue, nude gym class, judicial misconduct, freckles, giant robots, the dress code, conspiracy, communal bathing, shoe stores, the threat of alien invasion, and an acute deficiency in the availability of personal floatation devices. The sky is falling Shhhh, we have to be Royal about this. Ride along on this fast-flying sci-fi romp, and fall in love, as four strong, smart, passionate, young women uncover the mystery of the Red-dot Moon.
