Author of the Twilight series, pushed her romantic skill into an adult book of science fiction, with equal parts romance and action, Stephenie Meyer has once again shown her flawless skill at writing and produced a book that is sure to be a classic.
The world in "The Host" is that of an Earth that has been invaded by a parasite-like race of aliens who take over human brains and bodies, eliminate cancer and war, and turn the planet into a sort of paradise. But, humans, like Melanie Stryder, want the earth back under their control and refuse to give in to the control of the invading aliens. When Malanie is taken over by Wanderer, one of the alien parasites, she uses what little power she has to pour thoughts of her loved one into Wanderer's mind and convince her to find Melanie's brother and boyfriend.
It is not what most would consider hard-core sci-fi. Meyer focuses more on the relationships of the characters and the intriguing dilemma of two lives sharing one body. Much of the book deals with Melanie and Wanda's complicated love triangle with Melanie's old flame and Wanda's new love interest. There is action and suspense laced throughout, and Wanda's relationship with the surviving humans is tension filled to the max. The novel's real strength lies in the character of Wanda as she is constantly pulled between her duty as a Soul and the compassion she develops from her connection with Melanie and the other humans.
