    Summary

    "Whit Sunday is a festival of the Christian Church commemorative of the descent of the Holy Ghost upon the apostles. The etymology of the term has been strangely confused. It has been derived (a) from White Sunday, in supposed allusion to the white garments of the neophytes, as Whitsuntide was one of the two chief seasons for baptism; and (b) from Wytsonday, i.e., Wit, or Wisdom, Sunday, in reference to the outpouring of wisdom upon the apostles. But the real White Sunday is the octave of Easter, or Dominica in albis."

    It's March 2015. During Lent, Chasten Glezman meets a stranger in Chicago.

    Summary

    The lights have gone off in Redda. The Arctic cold is seeping in. Upstarts are panicking. Laborers are rioting. For the revolutionaries, it's do-or-die time.

    How inconvenient that the head of the revolution and the head of the government he's revolting against happen to be in bed together when it all goes down.

    This is it. The final story in the main sequence.
