The first volume of the Abraham trilogy

René Jordan and Father Malcolm Marchand are caught hoarding forbidden books in post-apocalyptic Kebek. They escape to Ellanoy and what appears to be a Utopia. During their stay Ellanoy is attacked by an army of warriors descended from less fortunate survivors of the poisoned rains. Paradise is a cruel mirage.
