Emilio sandoz the sparrow6/28/2023 ![]() What the Jesuits find is a world so beyond comprehension that it will lead them to question what it means to be “human”. While United Nations diplomats endlessly debate a possible first contact mission, the Society of Jesus quietly organizes an eight-person scientific expedition of its own. In 2019, humanity finally finds proof of extraterrestrial life when a listening post in Puerto Rico picks up exquisite singing from a planet that will come to be known as Rakhat. Opening line: It was predictable, in hindsight. So you can add my voice to the many others screaming about how amazing this book is. Now I finally picked up this classic sci-fi story about Jesuit priests going to another planet in order to make first contact with an alien species and it was everything I had hoped plus a lot more. ![]() Not in a hype sort of way, but I’ve stumbled across reviews and recommendations of this work a lot in the last decade. ![]() It’s on many favorite Science Fiction lists, it has won quite a few awards, and people are still talking about it. This is one of those books that keep coming up. ![]()
