What if Moses, Christ, Muhammad, and Buddha were never meant only for Earth?
On the planet Galrote, a civilization of extraordinary intelligence has survived for millennia without a single act of war. Then the armadas came. And nothing in their entire history of science, philosophy, or reason has prepared them for what violence actually does to a people.
Desperate, they do the only thing left: they send a student to the most dangerous world in the known universe. To Earth. To learn how humanity endures the unendurable, and bring that answer home before their world disappears entirely.
But the answer she returns with may be more dangerous than the threat she was sent to stop.
The Hadrite Student is a work of visionary science fiction built around one of the largest questions a novel can ask: if the great spiritual figures of human history were exactly who they claimed to be, should their influence have stopped at the edge of our atmosphere? Through the eyes of an alien student forced to witness humanity at its most broken and its most transcendent, Baxter Huston explores what violence, faith, and endurance look like when seen for the very first time.
For readers of Ted Chiang, Mary Doria Russell's The Sparrow, and anyone who has ever asked a question too large for a simple answer.
Book 3 of 4 in the Stumbling into the Multiverse series. Also available as part of the complete collected edition.
Includes original illustrations by Matthew Daratha.
