Synopsis: From the back cover of the Del Rey Books third printing:
Earth was a teeming, desperate hellhole... overpopulated beyond the wildest nightmare and rife with starvation and disease. And still the people multiplied.
They had no choice.
The Eleventh Commandment ordained it, and the militant ruling religion enforced it.
For the billions of devout and dutiful, life was merely unbearable.
For Martian-born Boyd Jensen, it was a seething pulsating hell.
Nefariously deported to his ancestral homeland, Boyd was now trapped on a world of unholy horrors from which there was no escape. All his medical and scientific training was less than useless... it was even dangerous.
There seemed no point in trying to fight the new, omnipotent church. The he fell in love and had to learn to understand... or to perish!
