Oratorio in Ursa Major
Oratorio in Ursa Major is book two of the Ursa Major series, a continuation of the story that begins with Fugue in Ursa Major. However, Oratorio is complete in itself and can be read first, with Fugue read later as a prequel.
In the first book, Fugue in Ursa Major, Jake rides out a global apocalypse at Phaedrus' hermitage in the Appalachian mountains. Jake's secrets — and Phaedrus' secrets as well — begin to come out.
In the second book, Oratorio in Ursa Major, Jake must undertake a dangerous quest into the past for the sake of earth's future. From the people of old Scotland and Gaul in 48 B.C., with their natural attitudes toward life and love, Jake comes to understand why the new earth must be rebuilt on ancient foundations.
This book has LGBT themes and takes a heretical stand on religion. It's not for everyone. But if you have an open mind, then Oratorio in Ursa Major has much to say about why the world didn't have to be this way. Cover illustration by Duncan Long.
