These three haunting tales by science fiction master Robert Silverberg creatively explore the idea of faith and its place in the future of humankind. In the Nebula-winning short story "Good News from the Vatican," the world awaits the announcement of the next elected pope. Among the candidates is a robot cardinal. "Every era gets the pope they deserve," observes a bishop. In "The Secret Sharer," a young, untested officer is put in command of a large starship carrying passengers in the form of digitized matrices. The novella We Are for the Dark is the story of the Lord Magistrate, a high ranking official of the Order, sent to the outer provinces of the galaxy to ensure that all is in the control of the Master. As he drifts further from the center of his civilization, he finds himself losing his grasp on his ideals, identity, and religion.
