On the planet of Irustan, Muslim fundamentalists who follow the "Second Prophet" have created a society that's just to the right of the Taliban. This book is, in my opinion, about an exaggeration or perversion of Islam, just as The Handmaid's Tale is about a perversion of Christianity.

Marley's beautiful, compelling science fiction novel is at once heartbreaking and uplifting, as it follows the frustrated lives of women living in a repressive religious society. The world of Irustan is detailed, subtle in its range of customs, and wholly believeable.

The Terrorists of Irustan. In this brilliant novel from the author of Sing the Light, a talented medicant defies the rule of men-and changes the lives of every woman on the planet. According to planet Irustan's inflexible religious code, women must be secluded and veiled, and are given away at the whim of the household's chief male. Nearly all men work in the rhodium mines, where they unavoidably inhale dust and become susceptible to a fatal disease; despite wearing masks, they require regular treatment. Their religion, however, bids them disregard their bodies, so men cannot be doctors.
