Pappi Peter jättää rakkaan vaimonsa Englantiin kissan kanssa ja lähtee viemään Raamatun ilosanomaa kaukaiselle planeetalle. Maapallo kulkee sillä aikaa kohti maailmanloppua.
Kauniisti kuvattu tarina rakkaudesta ja siitä riittääkö se ulottumaan todellisuudesta toiseen. Omaan makuun ehkä vähän liian rauhallinen ja pohdiskeleva tyyli. Alienit olivat ihan kiinnostavia.
I struggled a bit with this book; in the end I think it was my lack of connection w/ the main character that made it hard to be overly invested in the outcome. As the pages passed, I grew increasingly certain that the conflicts that were most interesting to me weren't going to be resolved - which isn't to say that the writing, or the focus of the book wasn't compelling. It held me throughout - but I think I would need to see the companion work that fills in all of the gaps the book leaves un-addressed to feel better about the story.
