Histoire
It's the eve of the 22nd century: a world where the dearly departed send postcards back from Heaven and evangelicals make scientific breakthroughs by speaking in tongues; where genetically engineered vampires solve problems intractable to baseline humans. And it's all under surveillance by an alien presence. Daniel Bruks is a field biologist in a world where biology has turned computational.

Histoire
Rosewater is a town on the edge. A community formed around the edges of a mysterious alien biodome, its residents comprise the hopeful, the hungry, and the helpless—people eager for a glimpse inside the dome or a taste of its rumored healing powers. Kaaro is a government agent with a criminal past. He has seen inside the biodome, and doesn't care to again—but when something begins killing off others like himself, Kaaro must defy his masters to search for an answer, facing his dark history and coming to a realization about a horrifying future.

Histoire
When Chen’s parents are incinerated before his eyes by a blast of ball lightning, he devotes his life to cracking the secret of the mysterious natural phenomenon. His search takes him to stormy mountaintops, an experimental military weapons lab, and an old Soviet science station. The more he learns, the more he comes to realize that ball lightning is just the tip of a new frontier in particle physics. Although Chen’s quest provides a purpose for his life, his reasons for chasing his elusive quarry come into conflict with soldiers and scientists who have motives of their own.

Gene Wolfe's "The Book of the New Sun" is one of speculative fiction's most-honored series. In a 1998 poll, Locus Magazine rated the series behind only "The Lord of the Rings" and The Hobbit as the greatest fantasy work of all time.

Histoire
Somewhere on the frontier between thought and reality exists the Discworld, a parallel time and place that might sound and smell very much like our own, but which looks completely different. Particularly as it’s carried though space on the back of a giant turtle (sex unknown). It plays by different rules. But then, some things are the same everywhere. The Disc’s very existence is about to be threatened by a strange new blight: the world’s first tourist, upon whose survival rests the peace and prosperity of the land.

Description
A visionary work that combines speculative fiction with deep philosophical inquiry, The Sparrow 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.
Ce que les critiques en disent
“A startling, engrossing, and moral work of fiction.” (The New York Times Book Review)
“Important novels leave deep cracks in our beliefs, our prejudices, and our blinders. The Sparrow is one of them.” (Entertainment Weekly)
“Powerful...The Sparrow tackles a difficult subject with grace and intelligence.” (San Francisco Chronicle)

a favourite of mine
I've read the physical book format several times and love it more each time. I'm not particularly religious, wouldn't even call myself spiritual, however I think this book provides so much insight into our humanity and the ways in which we choose to interact with the world.
I really enjoyed this on audio (but am glad that I read it in print first given how many characters/places/time periods there are) - however this is the first audiobook I have ever had to slow down the speed. It seemed ridiculously fast, and I even knew all the characters/background! Either the narrator talks way too fast naturally, or someone screwed up when making the digital file. I found .95 was good, but if you've never read it before I would suggest starting at .90.

The worst...
Struggled to finish. This story is entirely religious based. It is predictable and pedestrian and to no one's surprise confirms how great the god of the bible is. 18 hours I will never get back.

Thoroughly enjoyed
Thought the narrator did a great job with the different characters. Story was slow for the beginning, great middle and fast paced ending.

Awesome
Gripping and thought provoking journey to an alien world with deep, spiritual overtones. The romantic in me were looking forward to the lonely priest and sephardic Sophia continuing their love story.

One of the best books I ever read
I read "The Sparrow" a very long time ago. The book stayed with me all those years. Now that years have past, I felt the need to read it again. And it happened again. I was mesmerized. But the closer it got to the end, the more I remembered about the sequel "Children of God" which is a big contrast to this one. I will be reading that one again also.
The narrator was good, but at times I felt like he had always the same intonations in every sentence.
This is not a book about religion, "they meant no harm" as the author says, or as we say in French: "l'enfer est pavé de bonnes intentions." (hell is paved with good intentions).
