The Host by Stephenie Meyer
A Love That Refuses To Fade!
In
all the planets she had lived on, all the species she had lived as,
Wonderer had never before experienced such emotion, such violence and
such resistance as she did with her human host. It wasn't supposed to be
this way, the human hosts previous consciousness was supposed to fade
away. But this human Melanie, her new host, wasn't leaving without a
fight.
Melanie was a constant
presence in her mind, a loud, angry and strong presence, trapped inside
her who refused to fade away, refused to give up her secrets, refused to
let go of the person she once was, of the people she loved most.
Wonderer knew all this, felt all this and couldn't help being influenced
by her hosts body, couldn't help loving those Melanie had loved.
The
choice to venture off alone to find the humans that Melanie and she
both love is really no choice at all, despite the fact that the humans
are dangerous, violent creatures. But when she finds these humans they
both love, they see only the monster who has taken their Melanie from
them. Although Melanie still exists inside her, is it really possible
for Wonderer to go on living as two people.
The Host
is a science fiction romance that goes the heart of what it is to be
human. A love story at the end of the world, where humans as we know
them are being hunted to extinction, their very consciousness being
replaced by alien souls. This is the story of one souls experience of
humanity, the violence, the emotions, the irrational natures and the
love that is the only hope humans have left.
