Inheritance
Autor Malinda Loen Paperback – 15 sep 2014 – vârsta de la 15 ani
Reese
and
David
are
not
normal
teens-not
since
they
were
adapted
with
alien
DNA
by
the
Imria,
an
extraterrestrial
race
that
has
been
secretly
visiting
Earth
for
decades.
Now
everyone
is
trying
to
get
to
them:
the
government,
the
Imria,
and
a
mysterious
corporation
that
would
do
anything
for
the
upper
hand
against
the
aliens.
Beyond the web of conspiracies, Reese can't reconcile her love for David with her feelings for her ex-girlfriend, Amber, an Imrian. But Reese's choice between two worlds will play a critical role in determining the future of humanity, the Imria's place in it, and the inheritance she and David will bring to the universe.
In this gripping sequel toAdaptation, Malinda Lo brings a thoughtful exploration of adolescence, sexuality, and "the other" to a science-fiction thriller that is impossible to put down.

Recenzii
Praise
forInheritance:
—VOYA
"The
characters
are
appealing...the
alien
and
political
machinations
provide
menace,
a
brisk
page-turning
plot
and
lots
of
fun."
—Kirkus
Reviews"Readers
may
find
Reese...just
as
memorable
as
the
clever
plot
and
strong
world-building
that
are
the
strengths
of
this
novel."
—The
Horn
Book"Lo's
layers
of
conspiracy
that
were
so
effective
inAdaptationcontinue
to
surface
here,
and
the
development
and
revelations
of
what's
lurking
under
the
surface
of
this
alien
encounter
will
continue
to
set
readers
on
edge."
—The
BulletinPraise
forAdaptation:
"Suspenseful,
girl-powered,
contemporary
science
fiction
full
of
realistically
diverse
characters
making
realistic
contemporary
use
of
technology-
plus
hot
kissing-make
this
book
hard
to
resist."
"...Slot
this
on
the
shelf
between
Cory
Doctorow'sLittle
BrotherandThe
X-Files."
—Kirkus
Reviews"Lo
invokes
a
paranoid
X-Files
sensibility
here,
layering
conspiracy
atop
conspiracy
and
balancing
ambitious
twists
with
nuanced
relationships
that
are
ultimately
as
important
to
the
sci-fi
plotting
as
they
are
to
the
character
development."
—BCCB"Could
this
be
your
new
paranoid
crack?"
—io9.com"The
sense
of
play-of
allusion,
homage,
and,
forgive
the
pun,
adaptation-with
source
materials
like
the
typical
"YA
love
triangle"
and
the
conspiracy-SF
narrative
empire
ofThe
X-Filesmakes
this
book
read
almost
like
a
love
letter
to
genre,
while
it
is
at
the
same
time
clearly
having
a
roaring
good
time
fooling
around
with
the
things
it's
built
on."
