A well-deserved Hugo award went to this fascinating study of ì the place of religion in a future star-travelling society. Most ì of the action takes place on the newly-discovered planet Lithia, ì a paradise, idyllic, so like an unsettled Earth, yet so ì different. The protagonist, Father Ruiz-Sanchez, is both a priest ì and a biologist. He grows to feel that Lithia is a trap, a ì soul-trap, which will result in the damnation of first the ì exploring party, then the entire human race!
