That Leviathan, Whom Thou Hast Made

Harry Malan leads a Mormon congregation stationed on a platform near the heart of the Sun. Living alongside the swales, enormous beings of plasma that dwell among the star's flares, the people of his community have learned to coexist with creatures very unlike themselves. When one of the swales falls into trouble among the faithful, Harry refuses to let it go unanswered. His resolve pushes him toward a confrontation with Leviathan, the largest and most formidable of the swales, a being whose power dwarfs anything the station has ever faced.
