Sisters of the vast black / by Rather, Lina,author.(CARDINAL)814795;
"Years ago, Old Earth sent forth sisters and brothers into the vast dark of the prodigal colonies armed only with crucifixes and iron faith. Now, the sisters of the Order of Saint Rita are on an interstellar mission of mercy aboard Our Lady of Impossible Constellations, a living, breathing ship which seems determined to develop a will of its own. When the order receives a distress call from a newly-formed colony, the sisters discover that the bodies and souls in their care--and that of the galactic diaspora--are in danger. And not from void beyond, but from the nascent Central Governance and the Church itself."--Amazon.com.

Fenrir / by Flint, Eric,author.(CARDINAL)341667; Spoor, Ryk E.,author.(CARDINAL)476669;
"It was just a dot of light...a dot of light that appeared out of nowhere. Stephanie Bronson thought she might have found a distant supernova. Instead, what she'd found was something more than a thousand miles across, moving towards the Sun at almost a third the speed of light from the constellation of Lupus, the Wolf. Even more frightening, the object-called Fenrir, after the Norse Wolf of the World's End-was slowing down. It was not a comet or even a rogue planet. It was an alien vessel. And despite the increasingly detailed and insistent messages of greeting from Earth, it showed no sign of responding. As the world braced itself for the arrival of the immense, frighteningly silent alien visitor, Stephanie held hope that they still might communicate with Fenrir-until something happened that no one had imagined: Fenrir flared and its drive died, leaving the huge ship careening out of control to a fiery death inside the orbit of Venus. There was-just possibly-a chance for Earth to act-to rescue the now-shipwrecked "Fens." But even Stephanie-or those trying to stop her and the rescue ship Carpathia-could not imagine that not merely the fate of the aliens, but that of Earth itself, would be decided by Fenrir"--
