Finished “The Man who Cried God”. Wow! What an excellent beginning. The prologue didn’t hook me at all but as soon as the novel became more structured with the arrival of the 7 pilgrims, I found it easier to become invested.

The book’s framing (being a pastiche of The Canterbury Tales) is fresh and vivid through a sci-fi lens.

Part 1 was an excellent meditation on dogma and what it means to be human.
