Golem

In Golem, Dr. Balke deepens the mythos introduced in Ma, considering the challenges confronting those that assume responsibility for interstellar civilizations, and beyond to resolution of the universal conflict between good and evil.
Following the mystical ascendancy of the rulers of Paltane, ambitious local lords and the Eastern Empire rush to fill the void. Fear of the Golem, Lord Wortrin, an alien mind trapped in an electro-mechanical body, is the drum they beat. It is again to Earth that Corin and Leelay turn, seeking to use digital technology to restore Wortrin to his native form. But behind the scenes, Yeshua, avatar of unconditional love, forces Queen Zenica back to Paltane, and inexorably turns their efforts toward a greater and terrifying goal.
