A nuclear cataclysm pushed Grethia, a remote planet, into a dark age. A religion emerged to suppress technology by calling it sacred, holy and not for the world.A king broke the control of the priesthood in his kingdom and begins to bring crude technology back to life.Now, a young man, his ship sabotaged, finds himself marooned on Grethia. Through insight, courage and luck, he struggles with the static forces of the status quo and, together with the king, defeats the enemies of progress. His conflicts don't end as he finds a way off the planet and confronts those who want to end his very existence and destroy the planet's hard-won victory over the religion.The Hand of Grethia takes the reader from a Galactic civilization of space ships and high technology to the dark ages and back in an exciting space opera adventure.
