November Sci-Fi Reading Group Meetup
2024-11-18 19:00 - 20:30 | Meeting Room B – Mezzanine Room, Main Street 224, Brattleboro, Vermont, 05301, United States
The Sci-Fi Reading Group will meet Monday, November 18th, in the Mezzanine Room from 7-8:30 pm to discuss Sisters of the Vast Black by Lina Rather.
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.
The Sci-Fi Reading Group meets the third Monday of every month and is open to curious minds of all ages, whether or not they’ve read this month’s selection.
