Opportunity knocks in this adventurous Pilgrimage sequel, as Ross Martin and his throng of believers are transported from Earth into the boundlessly mysterious and unexplored blackness of deep space. Only with the assistance of a superior alien species, is the colony able to locate a new world. Perilous conditions impede their progress and jeopardize the hopeful survival of the human race, but armed with determination the population wages a battle to persevere. In spite of the limited life sustaining natural resources and encounters with a wide range of unfamiliar and often dangerous indigenous life forms, hope is not lost. Although many question previous beliefs, they must adapt and brace for a probable turbulent future."--Publisher's description
