Who is Jon Missionary, the half-wit, and why are he and his book so dangerous? On the planet Kanran-9, the religious establishment is threatened by anyone questioning the status quo. And the Emperor's beautiful daughter, Melina-Lu, doesn't help matters any when she falls in love with the heretic Missionary.

Years later, the Religio-College has returned to power, and with a weaker Emperor sitting astride the Kanran-9 throne, it now begins purging the half-wit's descendants.

Will Gerun Missionary survive the pogrom long enough to learn why so many people are desperate to kill him?
