But what is their purpose: to free humanity–or to enslave it? EMPIRE OF BONES Millions of years ago alien beings seeded Earth with their genetic strands to create a new outpost of intelligent life. Now their descendants have returned to Earth’s skies, drawn by their detection of a Receiver, a human with the genetic ability to tap into alien communications. It is the signal that Earth is ready to be absorbed into a vast galactic empire. Jaya Nihalani has been a prophet, a crusader, and a terrorist, fighting for the rights of her despised Untouchable caste. Now she lies in an Indian hospital, dying of a hideous disease. Her head is filled with voices and visions; her body is aging rapidly, inexplicably. But the voices and visions are no disease. Jaya is the Receiver whom the aliens intend to heal, enlighten...and use. Soon the subcontinent erupts in riots and chaos as powerful forces attempt to co-opt the enigmatic alien emissaries, and a shocked world awaits its fate. Jaya must somehow discover the plans of her perfect and powerful “friends.” Have they come to end human suffering, or to make it worse? Should she help them–or lead the impossible fight against them? 308260 26 3 2002 Empire of Bones total:20|5:3|4:3|3:11|2:3|1:0| 20 66 48 7 317444 0553583778 9780553583779 19 6 Empire of Bones 3.30 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1173720365m/317444.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/317444.Empire_of_Bones 3 0 false Sun Nov 01 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Sun Nov 29 17:02:26 -0800 2009 Thu Dec 10 11:51:03 -0800 2009 more...]]> 317444 0553583778 9780553583779 19 6 Empire of Bones 3.30 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1173720365m/317444.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/317444.Empire_of_Bones 3 0 false Tue Sep 18 06:15:19 -0700 2007 Tue Dec 02 10:03:33 -0800 2008 more...]]> 317444 0553583778 9780553583779 19 6 Empire of Bones 3.30 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1173720365m/317444.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/317444.Empire_of_Bones 3 0 false Sat Dec 01 00:00:00 -0800 2007 Sun Dec 02 22:06:53 -0800 2007 Fri Dec 28 11:25:56 -0800 2007 The Snake Agent (part of the Inspector Chen series). The writing and story were weaker, though still enjoyable. Mostly I think I wanted more depth for the plot and all the characters, human and alien.
