Description: Lithia -- an alien world and a biologist's paradise.  A four man team of scientists were investigating, among them Ruiz-Sanchez.  They were happy there at first -- all of them.  But Ruiz-Sanchez: scientist was also Father Ruiz-Sanchez: Jesuit priest, and he was growing afraid.  Afraid because he had realised that the extraordinary planet was more than a biologist's paradise.  It was a Paradise in all other respects as well.  He knew that this could only be a trap, but if he acknowledged that it was a trap, then he became a heretic, cast out and damned for eternity.
