Steal Across the Sky by Nancy Kress. It was interesting but about a hundred pages too long and I didn't like the ending at all. Now I'm reading (and about to finish) Thrones in the Desert by Doug Peterson. It's not my usual genre but it's kind of interesting. It concerns a group of fictional people who may have been affected by the presence of Jesus of Nazareth. Also not my usual fare.
