That Leviathan, Whom Thou Hast Made — Eric James Stone

"That Leviathan, Whom Thou Hast Made" won the 2010 Nebula Award for Best Novelette, awarded by the Science Fiction and Fantasy Writers of America, and was a nominee for the Hugo Award for Best Novelette, awarded at the World Science Fiction Convention. The story was originally published in the September 2010 issue of Analog Science Fiction & Fact. Harry Malan is the president of a Mormon congregation on a station in the center of the Sun, where humans interact with "swales"--gigantic star-dwelling plasma beings. When a Mormon swale has a problem, Harry is determined to resolve it, even if it means confronting Leviathan, the largest swale.
