Off Armageddon Reef

In "Off Armageddon Reef," humanity's survival hangs in the balance after a fierce encounter with the ruthless Gbaba alien race leaves Earth and its colonies in ruins. The remnants of humanity take refuge on the planet Safehold, where a powerful religion and advanced mind control techniques have maintained a medieval society for 800 years. When an ancient android named Merlin awakens, he sets out to challenge this stasis by introducing technological progress, beginning in the kingdom of Charis. As he endeavors to provoke innovation, the ever-watchful Church of God Awaiting prepares to confront the tumultuous changes ahead.
