  <default-description>Two aliens have wandered Earth for centuries. The Changeling has survived by adapting the forms of many different organisms. The Chameleon destroys anything or anyone that threatens it. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt; Now, a sunken relic that holds the key to their origins calls to them to take them home--but the Chameleon has decided there's only room for one.</default-description>

    <body><![CDATA[It was great right up until the end, where it felt like the author just decided he was tired of all the intrigue and just killed the book with a contrived showdown that was the most predictable ending that could have taken place.

    <body><![CDATA[This is the fourth work by Haldeman I've read in the past year. They've all been breezily readable, with tight pacing and enjoyable stories, though I liked this one less than the others. His sci-fi technology and aliens are most always more about serving plot and theme rather than realism, which is ...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/51023085">more...</a>]]></body>

The primary track is from the point of view of &quot;the changeling,&quot; an alien who, after spending eons as a sea creature, encounters a human swimmer in the 1930s and be...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/43607931">more...</a>]]></body>

I was reminded a little of <a href="http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/186110.Polymorph" title="Polymorph by Scott Westerfeld">Polymorph</a> because of the similar theme (two shapeshifters finding and trying to kill each other).

    <body><![CDATA[I enjoyed the concept that an alien is at first (literally) cold-blooded and then becomes human and experiences one of the cruelest moments in 20th century, which turns him/her into an empathetic, understanding, loving person.

    <body><![CDATA[Science fiction CAN be about psychology, and history, and still actually be a story about shape-shifting aliens.  Maybe the climax was unconvincing, maybe a little shallow, but I'm not sure that matters when a book makes you look forward to a cold, snowy ski lift so that you can open it up again.  ]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[I read this book while working through a nasty case of stomach flu in one sitting (or, actually, laying).  It is a nice story whose character is a shape-shifting alien on Earth in present day.  The only other alien in the book happens to be its nemesis.

    <body><![CDATA[The cool thing about this book is that it deals with an alien shapeshifter traveling through the history of the 2nd half of the 20th century. There are parts that are very moving.
