From the acclaimed author of The Sparrow comes a new, extraordinarily imaginative SF novel which continues the powerful, moving story of Emilio Sandoz, the charismatic Jesuit priest who led the well-intentioned but catastrophic mission to the distant planet of Rakhat, and journeyed to the furthest reaches of the human soul.
Now, in Children of God, Father Emilio Sanchoz returns and - against his will - is forced to continue his quest for the meaning, if any, of God's plan. Dazzlingly imaginative, philosophically provocative and immeasurably entertaining, Children of God is a must-read for fans of The Sparrow, and a startlingly fresh adventure for newcomers to Mary Doria Russell's special literary magic.
Mary Doria Russell is the multi-award-winning author of seven acclaimed novels. The science fiction classics The Sparrow and its acclaimed sequel, Children of God; the astonishing World War II thriller, A Thread of Grace, and Dreamers of the Day, a political romance set in Cairo in 1921. In Doc and Epitaph, she revisits the ‘Wild West’ mythology surrounding Wyatt Earp, Doc Holliday and the Gunfight at the OK Corral, while The Women of the Copper Country tells the story of Annie Clements, ‘America’s Joan of Arc’. Mary holds a Ph.D. in biological anthropology from the University of Michigan. She and Don Russell have been happily married for an unusually high percentage high percentage of the years since 1970. They live in Cleveland, Ohio.
