How set we can be in our thinking when we make certain things absolute? Sherdan can only think towards one goal and is so used to always have his way that it doesn’t even enter his mind that events can have a different reason or explanation other than for the benefit of him and his compound. Narcissistic much?Enter Anya, there on a mission from her God and with the blessing of her church. She falls for Sherdan despite his ego problem. Her presence confuses him and challenges him which eventually leads to change.The set up is intriguing and interesting, with the creation of a new country and all the political upheaval that goes with it, issues of religion versus love, science versus religion, manipulation versus truth. Anya’s faith is interesting, but had me scratching my head as well. The character in the background – Hitchins - turns out to be somewhat different than anticipated, resulting in quite an unexpected turn of events.The end is unravelling a bit too fast to my liking, though the cliff hanger is good – leaving me wanting to know how Sherdan and Anya will continue with their lives and what will happen next with Utopia.WaAr
