Publisher's summary
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.

Story
In 1349, one small town in Germany disappeared and was never resettled. Tom, a contemporary historian, and his theoretical-physicist girlfriend, Sharon, become interested. By all logic, the town should have survived, but it didn't. Why? What was special about Eifelheim that it utterly disappeared more than 600 years ago?

Story
A deeply divided nation. Vicious politics. A shamelessly partisan media. A president loathed by half the populace. Smuggling and gang warfare along the Mexican border. Armed citizens willing to stand their ground and take law into their own hands.... That was America in 1881. All those forces came to bear on the afternoon of October 26, when Doc Holliday and the Earp brothers faced off against the Clantons and the McLaurys in Tombstone, Arizona. It should have been a simple misdemeanor arrest.

Story
In July 1913, 25-year-old Annie Clements had seen enough of the world to know that it was unfair. She’s spent her whole life in the copper-mining town of Calumet, Michigan, where men risk their lives for meager salaries - and had barely enough to put food on the table and clothes on their backs. The women labor in the houses of the elite and send their husbands and sons deep underground each day. When Annie decides to stand up for herself and the entire town of Calumet, nearly everyone believes she may have taken on more than she is prepared to handle.

Story
The year is 1878, peak of the Texas cattle trade. The place is Dodge City, Kansas, a saloon-filled cow town jammed with liquored-up adolescent cowboys and young Irish hookers. Violence is random and routine, but when the burned body of a mixed-blood boy named Johnnie Sanders is discovered, his death shocks a part-time policeman named Wyatt Earp. And it is a matter of strangely personal importance to Doc Holliday, the frail 26-year-old dentist who has just opened an office at No. 24, Dodge House.

This is the way the world ends...for the last time. It starts with the great red rift across the heart of the world's sole continent, spewing ash that blots out the sun. It starts with death, with a murdered son and a missing daughter. It starts with betrayal, and long dormant wounds rising up to fester. This is the Stillness, a land long familiar with catastrophe, where the power of the earth is wielded as a weapon. And where there is no mercy.

Shorter and more conventional than some of Barker’s other work, this novel is especially rich with complex, passionate, three-dimensional characters, lush settings, and elegant language.

Communication among the scattered settlements was virtually impossible until the discovery that, thanks to light gravity and a dense atmosphere, humans were able to fly with the aid of metal wings made of bits of the cannibalized spaceship.

Mad scientists have never had it so tough. In super-hero comics, graphic novels, films, TV series, video games, and even works of what may be fiction, they are besieged by those who stand against them, devoid of sympathy for their irrational, megalomaniacal impulses to rule, destroy, or otherwise dominate the world as we know it. It’s just not fair. So those of us who are so twisted and sick that we love mad scientists have created this guide.

The Blums will soon discover that Italy is anything but peaceful, as it quickly becomes an open battleground for the Nazis, the Allies, Resistance fighters, Jews in hiding, and ordinary Italian civilians trying to survive.

The year is 1878, peak of the Texas cattle trade. The place is Dodge City, Kansas, a saloon-filled cow town jammed with liquored-up adolescent cowboys and young Irish hookers. Violence is random and routine, but when the burned body of a mixed-blood boy named Johnnie Sanders is discovered, his death shocks a part-time policeman named Wyatt Earp. And it is a matter of strangely personal importance to Doc Holliday, the frail 26-year-old dentist who has just opened an office at No. 24, Dodge House.

In July 1913, 25-year-old Annie Clements had seen enough of the world to know that it was unfair. She’s spent her whole life in the copper-mining town of Calumet, Michigan, where men risk their lives for meager salaries - and had barely enough to put food on the table and clothes on their backs. The women labor in the houses of the elite and send their husbands and sons deep underground each day. When Annie decides to stand up for herself and the entire town of Calumet, nearly everyone believes she may have taken on more than she is prepared to handle.

Armed citizens willing to stand their ground and take law into their own hands.... That was America in 1881. All those forces came to bear on the afternoon of October 26, when Doc Holliday and the Earp brothers faced off against the Clantons and the McLaurys in Tombstone, Arizona. It should have been a simple misdemeanor arrest.

Worth it
I was a bit off put by some of the last chapters of the first book and hesitated on the second. However, the desire for answers lead me to a purchase. I am glad I did. The story comes full circle; humanness, virtue, conceptual God and reality are well presented. The narrator changes also; which makes the presentation more even. Enjoy the conclusion.

Excellent Sequel - Completes the Story -Adds Depth
If you read the first one, read this one!
About Audio and Narration: I wish they had used the same narrator for both books. For a book featuring Alien languages, having consistancy in pronunciation in both books would be ideal. it doesn't ruin the book at all, just a minor detail that takes a couple chapters to get used to. Narrator is great but takes some getting used to. Some of her voices and her Spanish accent aren't the greatest. I preferred the way the first narrator did the voice of the main character and the old man character Vince Guiliani over the way Anna Fields performed the same roles. Like I said, not a dealbreaker, but it is a little jarring when you go right from one book to the next.
Notes on the Story: an excellent wrapping up of an epic tale and story arch that is merely hinted at in the first book. The Sparrow is an excellent stand alone sci-fi masterpiece. It doesn't need a sequel. However, after completing this second book, it almost feels like this book needed to be written. This book proves the necessity of its existence in how wonderfully it is written and how well it works to explore ideas and themes merely hinted at in the first book.
Minor Complaints: the whole "romantic" part of the story on Earth as Emilio is recovering from the mental and emotional trauma feels like a strange direction to take the story. It works, but I remember thinking, "what is the point of all of this?" Also, when the 2nd mission to R'Kat finally leaves Earth, I found myself especially wondering why a handful of chapters even bothered with that romantic story line. Once the 2nd mission is underway, I REALLY started to ask, "what was the point of all of that!?"
Last Thought: both of these books are beautiful and amazing. I will be reading more by this author for sure. If you enjoyed the first book, this sequel will add to the wonder of the narrative and will likely lead many readers to feel a sense of closure for Emilio and a satisfaction with how the 3 main species in these books form new bonds.

Mary Doria Russell slays me
Would you consider the audio edition of Children of God to be better than the print version?
I do not own the print version. The author does a marvelous job of acting-narrating
What other book might you compare Children of God to and why?
Children of God and the Sparrow are incomparable to anything else I've read
Which scene was your favorite?
The relationship scenes between Gina and Sandoz. They seemed so cathartic for Sandoz.
Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?
I felt a relationship to the characters that I will miss and will need to go back to as if they are old friends.
Any additional comments?
Mary Doria Russell's breadth of knowledge about religion-philosophy, the premise of the the Jesuits funding extraterrestrial travel, the Pope being from Africa, Sophia Mendes, where do I stop?! My only disappointment is the depiction of the extraterrestrials (can't spell names of species since listened to not read) as beast like. This imagine intelligent beings. Mary Doria Russell's breadth of knowledge about religion-philosophy, the premise of the Jesuits funding extraterrestrial travel, the Pope being from Africa, Sophia Mendes, where do I stop?! My only disappointment is the depiction of the extraterrestrials (can't spell names of species since listened to not read) as beast like. This imagine intelligent beings from outside of our know space to be unimaginable. I think the film Close Encounters of the Third Kind came as close to nailing down what my concept of these beings would appear. I hope we get the author to Writer's On a New England stage so the audience gets to converse with her.
Pardon me if my note is not grammatically perfect. I am just too bowled over and need to write as if speaking. WOW!

Fantastic Sequel to The Sparrow!
What did you love best about Children of God?
If you read and liked The Sparrow, you'll love how the story ends in Children of God. I listened to it all the way through on a road trip and didn't want it to end when we stopped for the night. Highly recommended!
What was one of the most memorable moments of Children of God?
Don't want to give it away, but it was amazing how the "Prime Directive" (in Star Trek terms) applies here. If you make contact with an alien specie, you WILL change them forever.
Have you listened to any of Anna Fields’s other performances before? How does this one compare?
I don't know.
Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?
The last scene was pretty good.
Any additional comments?
I started listening to another Sci-Fi book after this one and it made me really appreciate how deep and rich this book really is. A real treasure (along with The Sparrow).
