About Children of God
Father Emilio Sandoz, the only member of the original Rakhat mission to return to Earth, is still recovering when the Society of Jesus asks him to help prepare another journey to Alpha Centauri. Drawn back toward the past he fears, Emilio faces old friends, new discoveries, and moral questions that reach far beyond Earth.
