What's The Worst That Could Happen?
Eric James Stone’s 2010 That Leviathan, Whom Thou Hast Made is a Nebula-Award-winning novelette.
For most of humanity, Sol Central Station figures as the waystation to the stars. For Harry Malan, it is where he presides over a small Mormon ward. Malan’s congregation may be small, but it is noteworthy because most of the members are aliens, plasma beings that humans call swales.
To Malan’s distress, not only is station-mate Dr. Juanita Merced a Gentile (so she can be no solution to Malan’s celibate solitude), she is a godless Gentile who opposes Malan’s good works.
