Melanie
Stryder
refuses
to
fade
away.
The
earth
has
been
invaded
by
a
species
that
take
over
the
minds
of
their
human
hosts
while
leaving
their
bodies
intact,
and
most
of
humanity
has
succumbed.
Wanderer,
the
invading
"soul"
who
has
been
given
Melanie's
body,
knew
about
the
challenges
of
living
inside
a
human:
the
overwhelming
emotions,
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.
Melanie
fills
Wanderer's
thoughts
with
visions
of
the
man
Melanie
loves--Jared,
a
human
who
still
lives
in
hiding.
Unable
to
separate
herself
from
her
body's
desires,
Wanderer
yearns
for
a
man
she's
never
met.
As
outside
forces
make
Wanderer
and
Melanie
unwilling
allies,
they
set
off
to
search
for
the
man
they
both
love.
Featuring
what
may
be
the
first
love
triangle
involving
only
two
bodies,
THE
HOST
is
a
riveting
and
unforgettable
novel
that
will
bring
a
vast
new
readership
to
one
of
the
most
compelling
writers
of
our
time.

Recenzii
"Meyer
has,
like
one
of
her
vampires,
turned
into
something
rare
and
more
than
merely
human:
a
literary
phenomenon....The
way
she
manages
the
reader's
curiosity,
maintaining
tension
and
controlling
the
flow
of
information,
is
simply
virtuosic....People
do
not
want
to
just
read
Meyer's
books;
they
want
to
climb
inside
them
and
live
there."—Lev
Grossman,Time
"An epic story of love, family, and loyalty. . . .The HostisThe X-FilesmeetsDays of Our Lives."—Carol Memmott,USA Today
"Meyer is more interested in relationships than in flashy genre conventions. . . . Her affirmative life lesson is disarming."—Jeff Giles,Entertainment Weekly
"The Hostlives up to the hype, blending science fiction and romance in a way that has never worked so well."—Jane Jorgenson,Library Journal
"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
"A fantastic, inventive, thoughtful, and powerful novel.The Hostshould come with a warning label: it will grab you and keep you reading well into the wee hours of night, and keep you thinking, deeply, hauntingly, well after the final word. Stephenie Meyer captures characters and handles story line like a master--a hybrid combination of Stephen King and Isaac Asimov."
—Ridley Pearson
"A brilliant and fascinating premise.... Its mix of adventure and new love on a new Earth is just right to get lost in this summer."—Sherri Hallgren,Pittsburgh Post-Gazette
