Michel Faber's latest novel is a slow-paced exploration of well-worn themes, but it evokes those themes well enough that it has considerable power despite its drawbacks. In the near future, Peter is a Christian missionary to the natives of Oasis, an alien world on which a human corporation has set up a colony. At first, all seems to be going well: the natives are eager to hear Peter's message, and while the colonists are an eccentric bunch there seems to be no harm in them.
