Strangers and Sojourners tells a fascinating story of interesting and courageous people who try to make a difference. O'Brien, a master at dialog and crisp narration, brings the reader to understand the Delaneys and see that they are fighting a losing battle. The novel ends with their society similar to our own English-speaking societies. The other novels in the series carries this society and government, step by logical step, beyond where we are now until the Delaneys are confronted by a totalitarian state bent on one-world government. The up-and-coming charismatic leader is already a rising star in Europe. The governments who will form the union want to promote a state-sponsored, one-world religion that all peoples have to accept. The society and government already support politically correct thinking on abortion, homosexual life style, and the irrelevance of Christianity. This brings great pressure to the Delaneys.
