Melanie Stryder refuses to fade away. Earth has been invaded by a species that takes over human minds while leaving their bodies intact, and most of humanity has succumbed.

Wanderer, the invading soul given Melanie’s body, knew about the challenges of living inside a human: the overwhelming emotions, the vivid memories. But one difficulty Wanderer didn’t expect was the former tenant refusing to relinquish possession of her mind.

Critics Review

The Host is the most human science fiction story I ve ever read Meyer creates powerful and passionate situations that tear at the heartstrings - Asif!

The Host is both an intimate, character-driven romance and a thoughtful sci-fi allegory…The Host is the best kind of science fiction -full of thought-provoking ideas and imaginative concepts, and free of technobabble and cardboard characters. Meyer has authored the Twilight series, a hugely popular fantasy trilogy aimed at teenagers. Her first adult novel has been highly anticipated, and it won’t disappoint. - Courier Mail

Meyer takes the simple alien invasion scenario and imbues it with a series of moral dilemmas A brilliant read with a story that is complete without a sequel, though if one appears I’ll be first in line to devour it! - Good Reading

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 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
