What I mean is that after the massive plot contortions and planetary upheavals, at the end of the story on
Ushas we are not left with much of anything that suggests a Christian outcome. No monotheism, no Savior.
Instead we have 4 gods derived from human sources, two male, two female, two light, two dark. Plus a demon
in the ocean. And a pagan symbol (Green Man) as the marker for this particular future.
