"Stephenie Meyer is an amazing phenomenon-out of the brightness of her
mind and spirit comes the illuminated darkness of her stories. For no
matter how much pain her characters suffer, Meyer infuses the tales with
light and hope."
-Orson Scott Card, author of the Ender Saga
"A fantastic, inventive, thoughtful, and powerful novel. The Host will
keep you reading well into the wee hours of night, and keep you
thinking, deeply, hauntingly, well after the final word."
-Ridley Pearson, author of Killer Weekend
"A fascinating, passionate, and unique psychological thriller. In The
Host, Stephenie Meyer gives a new and surprising meaning to the phrase
'being of two minds'!"
-Katherine Neville, author of The Eight
Our world has been invaded by an unseen enemy. Humans become hosts for these invaders, their minds taken over while their bodies remain intact and continue their lives apparently unchanged. Most of humanity has succumbed.
When Melanie, one of the few remaining "wild" humans, is captured, she is certain it is her end. Wanderer, the invading "soul" who has been given Melanie's body, was warned about the challenges of living inside a human: the overwhelming emotions, the glut of senses, the too-vivid memories. But there was one difficulty Wanderer didn't expect: the former tenant of her body refusing to relinquish possession of her mind.
When outside forces make Wanderer and Melanie unwilling allies, they set off on a dangerous and uncertain search for the man they both love.
One of the most compelling writers of our time, Stephenie Meyer brings us a riveting and unforgettable novel about the persistence of love and the very essence of what it means to be human.
