International book fairs play an important role in creating connections, bringing together the people and ideas that continue to shape the publishing industry. This year, LIBER Feria Internacional del Libro 2026 welcomed the global publishing community to Barcelona for three days of networking, professional exchange, business opportunities, and conversations that opened new paths for books and their creators.

Taking place from September 29 to October 1, 2026, at Fira Barcelona Gran Via, Hall 1, LIBER 2026 served as a meeting point for the Spanish-language book industry and an important bridge between Europe and Latin America. The 44th edition brought together publishers, authors, agents, distributors, booksellers, rights buyers, and other industry professionals, creating opportunities to connect, exchange ideas, explore new markets, and discover possibilities within the evolving world of publishing.
Among the titles represented by Citi of Books at this year’s international gathering is “The Resurrection Encounter: A Science Fiction Parable for a Nuclear Age” by Tom Skore. The book gives readers another opportunity to discover the author’s creative work and adds another distinctive title to the range of stories being brought into the LIBER community. Through its presence at the fair, the book can become part of conversations surrounding literature, publishing, and the ways authors can connect with readers across different markets.
“The Resurrection Encounter: A Science Fiction Parable for a Nuclear Age” by Tom Skore is an imaginative work of Christian science fiction that places the story of Jesus within an extraordinary encounter involving alien explorers, time, and humanity’s recurring struggle with violence.
The story begins when alien explorers arrive in orbit over a newly discovered planet while seeking supplies. What they encounter is a world filled with diverse cultures and traditions but also marked by conflict and violence. Among the people they encounter is a man named Jesus, whose message and character profoundly affect the aliens. When they discover that Jesus is facing crucifixion amid the political tensions of ancient Rome, the aliens make the extraordinary decision to intervene. Their attempt to prevent what they believe is a terrible injustice ultimately sets them on a path toward consequences far beyond what they initially anticipated.
The novel takes a story familiar to millions of readers and places it within a completely different framework, asking what might happen if extraterrestrial observers encountered Jesus and decided that they had the ability—and responsibility—to intervene. This premise allows readers to look at familiar events from an outsider’s perspective. Kaseel’s reaction to Jesus is particularly important because the alien does not approach the story with the assumptions of human history or established religious tradition. His response is based on what he observes: a man communicating ideas of peace, love, and compassion in a world characterized by political conflict and violence.
Ultimately, The Resurrection Encounter offers a thought-provoking reading experience for those interested in science fiction, Christian fiction, historical storytelling, and philosophical questions about humanity. Tom T. Skore does not simply reproduce the biblical narrative; instead, he uses an imaginative premise to explore what the message of Jesus might look like when viewed through the eyes of beings from another world. The novel’s questions about compassion, faith, free will, violence, and humanity’s repeated mistakes give the story relevance beyond its science-fiction setting.
For readers willing to approach a familiar religious story from an unconventional angle, The Resurrection Encounter provides an imaginative narrative that invites reflection on whether humanity can learn from its history—or whether it remains vulnerable to repeating the same destructive patterns.
With its focus on international business, professional networking, and the expansion of Spanish-language publishing into European and Latin American markets, LIBER provides a setting where these connections can take shape.
