Arthur C. Clarke’s The Star asked why God would destroy a whole civilisation to light the sky over Bethlehem. In this short reply a space traveller, a priest and a physician find another way to look at the question, built around a homely image of a baby tooth giving way to the one that replaces it.

A thoughtful companion piece for anyone who knows Clarke’s famous story. Download the free EPUB.
