In fifteenth-century Europe, heretics are being burned at the stake. Rafal, a brilliant young man, is expected to enter university at an early age and study the era's most important field, theology. But Rafal values Reason above all else, which leads him both to the shocking conclusion that the Earth orbits the Sun, and into the hands of the Inquisition! A decade later, two members of the Watch Guild, the dour young Oczy and the cynical Gras, find a hidden stone chest that details the secrets of the universe Rafal left behind. Dare they try to change their own stars by selling the heretical texts, or would that only lead to the stake and the fire?

Babble On is the autobiography from Alex Paterson, co-founder of legendary house group The Orb.

Hope or despair?Twenty-five years later, amidst upheavals that threaten the authority of C--ity, a girl loses her father to the fate that God decreed and loses her own faith while taking action toward what she truly believes. What destiny awaits her?

The fascination Gras found in the heliocentric theory is left in the hands of Oczy. Clinging to faint hope in heliocentric theory, Oczy visits the brilliant, aloof monk Badeni with the stone box newly in his possession. Oczy and Badeni seek a new collaborator to help prove the theory. They find a girl despairing of the world, crushed by an era that laughs at the notion of a female scholar. Also entrusted with the research of Count Piast, a luminary of the geocentric theory, Badeni digs yet deeper into his efforts to prove the heliocentric theory. But even as they each pursue their respective hopes, overwhelming despair comes creeping up to them. Close your eyes. Plug your ears. Be ordinary. That's the only way to resist true knowledge.
