January Spec Fiction Book Club: Parable of the Talents

The January Speculative Fiction book club will be reading The Parable of the Talents (Earthseed #2) by Octavia Butler.

The group will meet at the table in the back of the store.

About the book:
This Nebula Award-winning sequel to Parable of the Sower continues the story of Lauren Olamina in socially and economically depressed California in the 2030s. Convinced that her community should colonize the stars, Lauren and her followers make preparations. But the collapse of society and rise of fanatics result in Lauren's followers being enslaved, and her daughter stolen from her. Now, Lauren must fight back to save the new world order.
