Parabolic Orbits: A Speculative Fiction Anthology Inspired by the Parables of Jesus (O+U Anthologies)

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!
