Emprise by Michael P Kube-Mcdowell

Fiction that satisfies as much at the story level as it does at the idea level--Orson Scott Card

The survivors of the next great war live in isolated farming communities, disdaining technological innovations and creating a deadly mythology around the use of science.

People considered to be pursuing the old, evil art of science are burned at the stake because it has become like the witchcraft of old.

Yet, there are people who defy the odds and secretly pursue the old arts, including Allen Chandliss, an astronomer hidden in the Idaho hills.

One day Allen Chandliss discovers that an alien fleet is about to approach Earth . a discovery that will make the world re-think their whole new way of life and start the next chapter in humanity's great cosmic adventure.

Michael P. Kube-McDowell is the New York Times bestselling author of Before the Storm, the Hugo Award nominee The Quiet Pools, and the Philip K. Dick Award nominee Emprise. His acclaimed near-future, human-centered novels have been praised as a heady mix of political intrigue and hard science (Julian May) and the work of an alert intellect (Locus).
