  <default_description>It takes an alien race to show us what humanity truly is. This is the irony faced by a group of friends whose lives are changed forever when the mysterious alien race known as the K&#233;thani come to Earth bearing an amazing gift: immortality. These superbly crafted episodes deal with human emotions in the face of the vast consequences of the alien arrival, and show how people across the world react to this benign invasion, how ultimately we evolve as we gain the stars. &lt;P&gt;</default_description>

    <body><![CDATA[When I first started reading this book, I thought it had a great premise. I don't know if it's because I read a lot of Stephen King and Dean Koontz, but I was expecting a little more excitement...like, &quot;Suprise! You've now become a slave to ugly and scary alien monsters!&quot; Oh well! LOL]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[As a novel collecting the Kethani short stories, now linked together by interludes, this is one of the most touching and thought-provoking collections I've read.

    <body><![CDATA[A good idea but I was unaware it's more a collection of short stories from the same universe, with a half-hearted attempt to join them with a hastily scribbled joining story.  A few interesting stories but most are rather bland and ordinary.  Very disappointing ending, that leaves you with the same ...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/15926316">more...</a>]]></body>
