Over the last couple of years, Dan Curtis Johnson has been adding mysterious little fragments of dark epic sci-fi to his livejournal, tagged (although I didn’t click at the time) lexicon. One of them I’ve blogged already, the lovely Old Faith of the Precursors.
Now all is revealed – he’s been playing an enormous game of Lexicon with his mates – and the result is a wodge of incredible writing, in the form of an encyclopaedia with commentary, describing the futile attempts of a far future ‘convocation’ of religious leaders to create a single unified faith. There’s a fascinating narrative – a set of narratives, really – to be teased out, by the looks of it.
