Join us for our February book club discussion of Sisters of the Vast Black by Lina Rather. This is the first in a science fiction novella series chronicling the mission of the interstellar convent Our Lady of Impossible Constellations—and the conflict between the people who face everyday life in the greater galaxy and the central governance far away on Earth.
From the Publisher:
Years ago, Old Earth sent forth sisters and brothers into the vast dark of the prodigal colonies armed only with crucifixes and iron faith. Now, the sisters of the Order of Saint Rita are on an interstellar mission of mercy aboard Our Lady of Impossible Constellations, a living, breathing ship which seems determined to develop a will of its own.
When the order receives a distress call from a newly-formed colony, the sisters discover that the bodies and souls in their care—and that of the galactic diaspora—are in danger. And not from void beyond, but from the nascent Central Governance and the Church itself.
Meet us virtually on February 19 at 5 p.m. Eastern for this book discussion by RSVPing via Facebook Events. Please visit Main Point Books online to order your copy of Sisters of the Vast Black or its sequel, Sisters of the Forsaken Stars, for delivery or in-store pickup.
