Human beings have long since left the surface of the Mother Planet, Earth, and so much time has passed they barely remember it. They have established themselves as the predominant form of life among the stars and all the while they expand, colonize and multiply undisturbed. At times they are at peace, other times they quarrel with one another in an endless strife of meaningless skirmishes. But one day the balance is broken. A terrible alien race, relentless and apparently unstoppable, now threatens to upset this delicate order and wash away over twelve millennia of progress and expansion. People in the Milky Way call them Herem, the Anathem… BOOK ONE: MABEL’S WAR Planet Teodus, Sol Cluster: Mabel is getting ready to join his older brothers in their small agricultural enterprise, but when a terrible new enemy starts terrorizing the galaxy, he decides to give it all up to join the army. He will endure years of hard training, during which he will meet Sig, Yowa, Alanna, Bera, Mina and many other young recruits, eager for adventure. This will mark the beginning of his military career, as well as the start of his adventures and of the mysteries he will find himself entangled in, starting from his first encounter, on Planet Vidalo III, with the terrible alien invaders. Mabel’s war revives the atmospheres of the great classics. It is the first piece of a much greater saga, as well as a journey through the infinite reaches of space and into the one great mystery of the Universe: the Human soul, with its fears, anguishes and hopes.
