    “A great book! A solid mix of theology, philosophy, and science fiction. A Jesuit priest leads a crew to another planet to make first contact with an alien race. Already a bit different, right? Things take some unfortunate turns, allowing an exploration of what evil is, what it means to be human, and more. One of the best books I’ve read.”
