The Doors of the Universe (Children of the Star, Book Three)
by Sylvia EngdahlBook Three of the Children of the Star trilogy. Noren knew that his world was not as it should be -- it was wrong that only the Scholars, and their representatives the Technicians, could use metal tools and Machines. It was wrong that only they had access to the mysterious City, which even as a child he had longed to enter. Above all, it was wrong for the Scholars to have sole power over the distribution of knowledge. The High Law imposed these restrictions and many others, though the Prophecy declared that someday knowledge and Machines would be available to everyone. Noren, convicted in youth of heresy, had only recently come to believe in the Prophecy's fulfillment. And the more he learned of the grim truth about his people's deprivations, the less possible it seemed that their world could ever be changed. It would take more drastic steps than anyone had imagined to restore their rightful heritage.
The Far Side of Evil
by Sylvia EngdahlThe options "The Younglings you'll deal with are in danger," he said. "Once before you visited a world that was endangered -- to save it. This world we have no power to save. Do you realize what that means?" I was beginning to, and it wasn't a happy realization. ... "It means that there are just three ways it can end," he told me gently. "The danger may not materialize; in that case your personal peril, which will be great, will be all you have to worry about. On the other hand, these people may be wiped out, and if so" -- he paused, his eyes meeting mine, then forged ahead -- "you will either share their fate or stand by, helplessly, and watch it happen." "Watch it happen? Will it be sudden?" "They are on the verge of a nuclear war, Elana."
