Editor’s note American writer, trained as a paleoanthropologist, whose debut The Sparrow is one of the most admired novels about faith in science fiction. When songs are picked up by radio telescope from a planet near Alpha Centauri, the Jesuits quietly send a mission to make first contact. Decades later the only survivor, the linguist priest Emilio Sandoz, returns maimed and disgraced, and the story moves between his interrogation and what happened on Rakhat. Harrowing and humane; Children of God continues it. Read The Sparrow first.
