The author here has not only created a new species with its' own culture, but also has successfully managed to keep the readers interest. Eric J. Stone has managed to successfully introduce the human race with these sentient beings and use religon on a level wich doesn't threaten anyone. He has viewpoints from both the follower, the nonbeliever and those new to religon. In the character of Leviathan, he has attempted to introduce God, until the shocking end. You will not exepect the ending he's managed to create. The only bad thing about the story is it is way too short.
Fabulous, daring science fiction.
