Tommic And The Long Night

"The Temple of Earth." 

I will not summarize the whole story, especially since everyone can read it online.

Tommic is either a local god or the devil responsible for the Fall.

The ruling faction within the Temple wants to restore science and to unite mankind in freedom as against slavery but:

"'If we fail, as seems all too probable, the long night will descend completely.'"

Staving off the Long Night is an Andersonian quest.

The viewpoint character, Rikard, has now changed sides twice in the corkscrew of Lunar politics. The action moves fast and we do not know where it is going except that it will probably be towards a better future.
