Aren't sci-fi/fantasy folks considered geeks? They were when I was growing up. Mormons=geeks. Makes sense to me.

Sounds like 1835-1870 all over again. Polygamous Danites.


Well, except that the main leaders are two young bi-sexual women. Not sure the Danites had much of that going on.

And when I read his manuscript before printing it appeared to be a more new age theme.
