Wow! This book was not unlike a trip to Mecca for me: long, tumultuous, and full of learning experiences. I absolutely loved it and am very glad to have read it.Amber Bierce is a girl living with her addict prostitute mother and sister when her mom suddenly dies in the very beginning. She has to make a decision for herself and sister of how they'll make it in life, and decide to board a ship leaving Earth to be the first settlers on another planet and plan to spend five years in a "sleeper" where her heart will stop beating, she will not age, and will wake up as if from a long nap once they reach their destination. One space shuttle crash and 266 years later in her sleeper they find themselves on a foreign planet and totally lost. -Enter Meoraq-Meoraq is a lizard king type holy man on the planet that finds Amber Bierce and her flock of humans, and after some background info (albeit slight boring for him, but necessary for the story) decides to take Amber and the other humans with him on his own journey to his holy land of Xi'Matezh. What follows is an amazing and brutal story that will leave you drawing similarities to your own questions in the big scheme of life and trust me, in the end, it was all worth reading.
