In Mission, Patrick Tilley presents an audacious premise: what if Jesus of Nazareth were to reappear in modern-day Manhattan, not as a mystical apparition, but in the flesh—dead on arrival at a city hospital? Through the eyes of Manhattan lawyer Leo Resnick and Dr. Miriam Maxwell, the story unfolds as a fast-paced, intellectually charged exploration of faith, questioning how the contemporary world would grapple with a literal visitation that transcends conventional religious boundaries.\n\nRather than offering a simple retelling of sacred history, Tilley pivots into a masterful space opera, positing that this \"return\" is inextricably linked to an ancient, interstellar conflict. Known for his ability to weave complex philosophical themes into high-stakes, page-turning narratives, Tilley creates a work that is as witty as it is challenging. This edition serves as a significant artifact from an era when science fiction was being pushed toward more cerebral, subversive territories, making it a highly rewarding read for those who appreciate speculative fiction that refuses to shy away from the ultimate mysteries of the universe.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Secondhand Stock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48826042384603,"sku":"2026770000674-SECONDHAND","price":12.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/f7b0eda6-8989-454d-87de-5daed3c0d632.png?v=1780311482","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/2026770000674-secondhand-mission","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
