Parabolic Orbits
Jesus’ parables used familiar elements to teach timeless truths. In these pages, you are invited to revisit his messages through the imaginative tropes of sci-fi.
In this follow-up anthology to A TIME FOR EVERYTHING you will find:
* A mining colony on a planet with dangerous secrets in Kerry Nietz’s “Pest Control”
* A prisoner serving a life sentence on a doomed world in Denise Bruggers’ epistolary “The Debt”
* An immortal facing death for the first time in Kathleen Bird’s “Walk in the Light”
* An unproven military squad in a high-stakes battle for the survival of their city in J. L. Burrows’ “Wasted Talent”
* The final hours of a centuries-long reality show in Earth’s orbit in Amy Walsh’s “The Great Selection”
* A colony representative who must take unusual measures to get the attention of an uncaring bureaucracy in Elizabeth Staab Van Deusen’s “The Stars from Home”
* And more!
These are the stories he told . . . retold across space and time!
