In Truth of the Divine, Lindsay Ellis deepens her exploration of the reality of a world
faced with the presence of extra terrestrial intelligence, probing the essential
questions of humanity and decency, and the boundaries of the human mind. While
examining the question of what makes a human, Ellis investigates what makes a
monster.

shocking accusation against the Wildes. Suddenly, it is one mother's word against
the other's in a court of public opinion that can end only in blood.
