The saga begins with the attempt of Silk, a young priest, to save his manteion (the equivalent of a neighborhood church and school) from being destroyed by a ruthless businessman. However, Silk becomes a revolutionary leader and prophet as he learns more about his world (called the Whorl), its origins and fate, and the nature of the pantheon of gods he worships, and as he becomes a follower of a supposedly minor god known as the Outsider. The ''Long Sun'' series has a sequel series, '' The Book Of The Short Sun . While not precisely a sequel, the tetralogy is related to Wolfe's '' The Book Of The New Sun ''. This relationship becomes clearer in ''The Book of the Short Sun''. SEE ALSO
