It's 2052, and you're a missionary. What do you do? The same thing missionaries have always done: free individuals from the ignorance and superstition of their primitive religious beliefs...say Unitarian Universalists, for example, or New Age spiritualists...and then bring them into the light of truth. This is the task of Mica and Walt, the two young adventurers featured in Sean Gardner's science fiction novel, Missionary. Basing their own faith on science, specifically the fields of neurobiology and evolutionary psychology, Mica and Walt explore the world that exists after the Great Divide, a time when individuals desperate to hold onto their religious beliefs fled into urban basement cults or wilderness camps to protect themselves from the revelations of the newly-invented gawd box. The two young missionaries are plunged into the epic battle at the heart of this divided world made up of sheep, dedicated to the old ways, and lumins, who embrace the future, when Walt is shot and abducted by fundamentalists from a mountain camp near Seattle who plan to increase their numbers by forcibly converting outsiders. As Mica searches for and tries to rescue Walt, readers will discover how radically the world is going to change once the current research on what belief is and where it comes from is released to the general public. What will you believe as you read the last pages of Missionary? Will your world ever be the same again?
