false 1656001 30 The author of the <I>Twilight </I>series of # 1 bestsellers delivers her brilliant first novel for adults: a gripping story of love and betrayal in a future with the fate of humanity at stake. >Melanie Stryder refuses to fade away. The earth has been invaded by a species that take over the minds of their human hosts while leaving their bodies intact, and most of humanity has succumbed. Wanderer, the invading "soul" who has been given Melanie's body, knew about the challenges of living inside a human: the overwhelming emotions, the too vivid memories. But there was one difficulty Wanderer didn't expect: the former tenant of her body refusing to relinquish possession of her mind. Melanie fills Wanderer's thoughts with visions of the man Melanie loves-Jared, a human who still lives in hiding. Unable to separate herself from her body's desires, Wanderer yearns for a man she's never met. As outside forces make Wanderer and Melanie unwilling allies, they set off to search for the man they both love. Featuring what may be the first love triangle involving only two bodies, <i>The Host</i> is a riveting and unforgettable novel that will bring a vast new readership to one of the most compelling writers of our time. 3328799 book 6 5 2008 The Host total:42976|5:16400|4:14898|3:7870|2:2373|1:1436| 42976 171379 66001 12341 4 88 false true Sat May 03 00:00:00 -0700 2008 Thu May 08 21:16:21 -0700 2008 Sun May 11 23:43:42 -0700 2008 more...]]> 2 170 false false Thu Jul 03 00:00:00 -0700 2008 Fri May 02 10:55:43 -0700 2008 Thu Jul 03 22:43:26 -0700 2008
