In a top-secret government installation near the small town of Two
Rivers, Michigan, scientists are investigating a mysterious object
discovered several years earlier. Late one evening, the local
residents observe strange lights coming from the laboratory. The
next morning, they awake to find that their town was literally cut
off from the rest of the world...and thrust into a new one Soon the
town is discovered by the bewildered leaders of this new world--at
which point, the people of Two Rivers realize that they've arrived
in a rigid theocracy. The authorities, known as the Bureau de la
Covenance Religieuse, have ordered Linneth Stone, a young
ethnologist, to analyze the arrivals and report her findings to the
Lieutenant in charge. What Linneth finds will challenge the
philosophical basis of her society and lead inexorably to a
struggle for power centering on the mysterious object that Two
Rivers' government scientists were studying when the town slipped
between worlds. In "Mysterium," Robert Charles Wilson "blends
science, religion, philosophy and alternate history into an
intelligent, compelling work of fiction" ("Publishers Weekly").
