The Remnant, the second futuristic novel in "The Far Fields" series, continues the story which began in Beyond the River -- that of a world where total authoritarian government has replaced family and rewritten history. Pursued by the relentless Peacekeepers, David, Starr and the Remnant flee into the underworld of the Domed City known as the Shadowland. Here, they gather to worship in secret, but when a spy infiltrates their ranks they find themselves captives of the Peacekeepers. Now it is up to Mingo, a former enemy turned friend, to save the Remnant.
