Published May 11, 2007 by Sound Library.
With humankind reduced to a single colony on the world of Safehold, the human rulers of the planet, in an effort to preserve the remnants of their industrial civilization, build a religion designed to hide the colony by keeping its society medieval.
<spoiler>Very heavy handed fanfiction for a idealised christian monarchy; detracts from otherwise serviceable novel</spoiler>
I enjoyed this book, but if you aren't ready for lots of information about sailing ships and a host of characters, you might not. The premise is a good excuse to have a future tech view of a society without complex machines and building up their technology. I wonder if the book might read better if you only read the chapters with Merlin.
