About this listen
In 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 Society 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, Chil-dren 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.

beautiful, heartbreaking story
I've loved both books ever since I first read them. They are two of only four books that have made me cry. Beautiful, sad and hopeful.

Wonderful imaginative and moving. A must listen.
Like the first part this was a beautiful conclusion to the story. Russell is an amazing writer and the narrator was great. Thank you it was brilliant.

loved the first but not as keen.
I loved the first book but i found the story this time quite hard to follow, there was just a lot of it and a lot of characters. I listened to it cause I felt invested more than anything
