The Moon Under Her Feet The Moon Under Her Feet

Father Mark Wycliffe is a Roman Catholic priest and space engineer. On the Moon, he meets Jessica, a teenage girl in a Catholic school uniform. Jessica loves to shop and hang out in nightclubs. But Jessica also claims to be Jesus Christ.

Will Jessica use her special powers to start a nuclear Armageddon? Will Father Wycliffe, the Virgin Mary, scientists, and clergy be able to stop Jessica from carrying out her Father's will? While the mortals and Jessica's immaculate mother try to foil her, Jessica happily splurges on designer clothes, luxuries she never had in first century Judea.

The Moon Under Her Feet combines space opera, ghost story, and theology in a way never before seen in science fiction. From Derwin Mak, the author of "Transubstantiation," winner of the 2006 Prix Aurora Award, Canada's national science fiction award, for Best Short-Form Work in English.

"A clever, often brilliant, weaving of two story lines... Mak brings science and theology together in ways few other science fiction writers would even contemplate."

-- John-Allen Price, author of The Mutant Chronicles
