CALCULATING GOD
by Best-Novel Hugo and Nebula Award-winner Robert J. Sawyer
DID GOD CREATE THE UNIVERSE? THE ALIENS THINK THEY CAN PROVE IT!
The beloved Hugo Award-nominated novel about the conflict between science and religion — perfect for fans of Mary Doria Russell's The Sparrow and Carl Sagan's Contact. An alien walks into Toronto's Royal Ontario Museum and asks to see a paleontologist. Dinosaur expert Tom Jericho is stunned to learn that many worlds experienced the same five great mass extinction events as Earth did, and that the aliens believe this proves God tampers with the evolution of life. As Tom faces his own mortality, will his life-long atheism be shaken by these revelations? From this provocative launch point, Sawyer tells a fast-paced, morally and intellectually challenging story that just grows larger and larger in scope.
Calculating God is SF on the grand scale — with a very human heart.
