Beneath The Eye Of God (The Commodore Ardcasl Space Adventures Book 1) - Plot & Excerpts
The intervening time was spent examining and recording the books saved from the fall of the forest empire. Each was made from a long strip of bark fabric a foot high and up to fifteen feet long. It was covered on both sides with a white coating more like plaster than paint. Then it had been folded, accordion fashion, so that a series of pages was formed. These were painted on both sides with glyphs and pictures. Most dealt with the rituals meant to appease long-forgotten gods. Two were histories of the creation of the world, the forest and the people. As he carefully recorded each page, Ohan found himself marveling at how much his people had created and then lost, how far they had gone along one road before they were forced to turn aside and take another. He wondered where they would have ended up if they had been left alone, where he would be now. He could not picture himself dressed in feathers, chanting to these barbaric gods. The speculation made him dizzy. He decided to accept the world as it was and hope for the best.
