Description

The planet Arb is very similar to Earth, but its scientists, philosophers, and mathematicians live like a religious order in monasteries. Their main task is to preserve knowledge and protect it from the outside world. One of the scientists, Raz, who is 19 years old, was taken into the monastery at age 8 and now serves as one of the “ten-decade” keepers. But the thousand-year rules are broken when a threat emerges from aliens, and Raz and his friends are summoned to save the world by participating in an intellectual contest and fighting for their ideals.
