The Sparrow follows Jesuit priest and linguist Emilio Sandoz as he leads a scientific mission to make first contact with intelligent life beyond Earth. What begins in hope, faith, and discovery on Rakhat collapses through misunderstandings into catastrophe, leaving hard questions about belief, responsibility, and humanity’s place in the universe.
