The Host – Stephenie Meyer
Earth has been invaded by a species that takes over the minds of human hosts while leaving their bodies intact. Most of humanity has already been absorbed, and the world is now peaceful, orderly and almost entirely controlled by the invaders, who call themselves Souls.
Wanderer, a Soul who has lived many lives on many planets, is placed in the body of Melanie Stryder, one of the last wild humans. But Melanie refuses to fade away. Her memories and her voice remain inside her mind, filling Wanderer’s thoughts with images of Jared, the man Melanie loves, and Jamie, the younger brother she was trying to protect.
Driven by Melanie’s longing, Wanderer sets out across the desert in search of the human resistance, where Melanie’s loved ones may be hiding. When she finds them, she must survive among people who see her as the enemy, and the two women who share one body find themselves bound by an unexpected bond and caught in an extraordinary love triangle.
The Host is Stephenie Meyer’s first novel for adults, a gripping blend of science fiction, romance and adventure that explores identity, love, loyalty and what it truly means to be human.
Emotional, suspenseful and thought-provoking, it is ideal for fans of the Twilight Saga and for readers who enjoy speculative fiction with heart. The novel was adapted into a feature film in 2013.
