HTML:A visionary work that combines speculative fiction with deep philosophical inquiry, <i>The Sparrow</i> tells the story of a charismatic Jesuit priest and linguist, Emilio Sandoz, who leads a scientific mission entrusted with a profound task: to make first contact with intelligent extraterrestrial life. The mission begins in faith, hope, and beauty, but a series of small misunderstandings brings it to a catastrophic end.<br />  <br /> <b>Praise for <i>The Sparrow</i></b><br /> <b><i> </i></b><br /> “A startling, engrossing, and moral work of fiction.”<b>—<i>The New York Times Book Review</i></b><br />  <br /> “Important novels leave deep cracks in our beliefs, our prejudices, and our blinders. <i>The Sparrow</i> is one of them.”<b>—<i>Entertainment Weekly</i></b><br />  <br /> “Powerful . . . <i>The Sparrow</i> tackles a difficult subject with grace and intelligence.”<b>—<i>San Francisco Chronicle</i></b><br />  <br /> “Provocative, challenging . . . recalls both Arthur C. Clarke and H. G. Wells, with a dash of Ray Bradbury for good measure.”<b>—<i>The Dallas Morning News</i></b><br />  <br /> “[Mary Doria] Russell shows herself to be a skillful storyteller who subtly and expertly builds suspense.”<b>—<i>USA Today</i></b>.
