    “A tale that lives in my head, and resurfaces every time I get a papercut. Profound and profoundly strange tale of a missionary sent to a foreign planet to spread the word. But the perspective from this new world will test his faith for good. “Peter was struck by the scar’s essential nature: it was not a disfigurement, it was a miracle. All the scars ever suffered by anyone in the whole of human history were not suffering but triumph: triumph against decay, triumph against death.””
