This is the credo and seminal text of the movement which was later
characterized as liberation theology. The book burst upon the scene
in the early seventies, and was swiftly acknowledged as a
pioneering and prophetic approach to theology which famously made
an option for the poor, placing the exploited, the alienated, and
the economically wretched at the centre of a programme where "the
oppressed and maimed and blind and lame" were prioritized at the
expense of those who either maintained the status quo or who abused
the structures of power for their own ends. This powerful,
compassionate and radical book attracted criticism for daring to
mix politics and religion in so explicit a manner, but was also
welcomed by those who had the capacity to see that its agenda was
nothing more nor less than to give "good news to the poor", and
redeem God's people from bondage.
Avra Helvaçi, former field agent of the Arasti Ministry of
Intelligence, has accidentally stolen the single most expensive
secret in the world—and the only place to flee with a secret that
big is the open sea. To find a buyer with deep enough pockets, Avra
must ask for help from his on-again, off-again ex, the pirate
Captain Teveri az-Haffar. They are far from happy to see him, but
together, they hatch a plan: take the information to the isolated
pirate republic of the Isles of Lost Souls, fence it, profit. The
only things in their way? A calculating new Arasti ambassador to
the Isles of Lost Souls who's got his eyes on Avra's every move;
Brother Julian, a beautiful, mysterious new member of the crew with
secrets of his own and a frankly inconvenient vow of celibacy; the
fact that they're sailing straight into sea serpent breeding season
and almost certain doom. But if they can find a way to survive and
sell the secret on the black market, they’ll all be as wealthy as
kings—and, more importantly, they'll be legends.
