'The Sparrow', is a truly interesting mix of theology and science fiction. A very slow initial pace but well worth carrying on.

This is a glimpse into human nature as well as a good science fiction story; Some may find the main character's (Father Emilio Sandoz') situations a bit unnerving, and the conclusion very disturbing. However, there is a good dose of reality here, and this honesty makes the story all the more credible. If you like sci-fi, you must read this book it is awe-inspiting, imaginative, haunting, funny, thrilling, touching and quite unforgettable. I have found out there is a sequel, 'Children of God'. I am now looking out for this to read.
