Under the Suns - Ches Smith - Bog

Nodi, an alien scribe, is losing faith in humanity.

Well ... not all humans, one in particular-a man named Tim. Tim was betrayed and crucified over 200 years ago, but not before establishing himself as planet Akigol's savior.

When Nodi pursues evidence suggesting Tim wasn't what he claimed, he must flee or face execution for blasphemy. With a little unsolicited help from Mal, a dissonant and thief, Nodi will seek the truth about Akigol's messiah no matter the cost.

Menaced by tongueless warriors, strange creatures, cannibals, and a wholly devoted religious persecutor, Nodi will discover he is not alone in the universe and what's more, the drama unfolding before him isn't all that unique.

There's truly nothing new under the suns.
