They run a kind of communistic, ego-less enterprise. There are quite a few secrets, like where did the previous missionary go, that need unravelling and I suspect they will be quite dark.
Love Lettuce Aug 2019 12:02pm, 12 Aug 2019 170 posts	Quote Pin Love Lettuce A Case of Conscience sounds interesting. Jesuits in space rang a bell, but the book I've read is The Sparrow by Mary Doria Russell. It turns out that Jesuits in space is a recurring theme (https://www.adherents.com/lit/sf_jesuit.html) - who knew?
Peregrinator Aug 2019 12:08pm, 12 Aug 2019 37 posts	Quote Pin Peregrinator A kind of mirror to these catholic themes is Canticle for Leibowitz by Walter J Miller.
GregP Aug 2019 3:39pm, 12 Aug 2019 113,889 posts	Quote Pin GregP 100 pages in and the Clinton/Patterson Thing is excellent, much to my surprise and delight. Very much reminiscent of Sorkin’s peerless television West Wing

Diogenes Aug 2019 7:57pm, 12 Aug 2019 39,203 posts	Quote Pin Diogenes As I’ve never seen West Wing this review is unhelpful in the extreme. Gives it a thumbs down and a 1star review on Amazon.
LindsD Aug 2019 8:11pm, 12 Aug 2019 28,904 posts	Quote Pin LindsD I think you might like it, Dio. The West Wing, that is.
