SynopsisIn Children of God, Mary Doria Russell further establishes herself as one of the most innovative, entertaining and philosophically provocative novelists writing today. The only member of the original mission to the planet Rakhat to return to Earth, Father Emilio Sandoz has barely begun to recover from his ordeal when the So-ciety of Jesus calls upon him for help in preparing for another mission to Alpha Centauri. Despite his objections and fear, he cannot escape his past or the future. Old friends, new discoveries and difficult questions await Emilio as he struggles for inner peace and understanding in a moral universe whose boundaries now extend beyond the solar system and whose future lies with children born in a faraway place. Strikingly original, richly plotted, replete with memorable characters and filled with humanity and humor, Children of God is an unforgettable and uplifting novel that is a potent successor to The Sparrow and a startlingly imaginative adventure for newcomers to Mary Doria Russell's special literary magic.

Read it
This book is a sequel to The Sparrow, but can stand alone. These are two of the best, most thought provoking books I have ever read. The copy I ordered of Children of God was in good shape, just as advertised. Great value for the price.Bestätigter Kauf: JaArtikelzustand: Gebraucht

part 2
Part two of the Sparrow novel, continues and clarifies the outcome of the characters introduces in the debut book. I found the second book well written but tended to delve into religious philosophy a bit much. All in all, an interesting novel .Bestätigter Kauf: JaArtikelzustand: Gebraucht
