[Justin Clark · Rating 3 out of 5]

Seed of the Gods by Zach Hughes is an interesting, pulpy sci-fi read from the 1970s that I thoroughly enjoyed. The story surrounds an alien species that came to earth for resources, as a part of centuries-long interaction with humanity. A young man from the alien species falls in love with a human woman, which sets off a series of events that tests the boundaries of the human/alien interaction for all time. I don’t want to give too much away, other than the love story in this book is surprisingly poignant and touching. This is a hidden gem of paperback fiction worthy of a weekend read.

I really loved this book. Randomly picked it up from the dollar section of a used book store and I’m glad I did. Fun story and creative universe!

Da quando il vecchio stabilimento industriale di Ocean County è stato rimesso in funzione da due misteriosi individui, strani fenomeni luminosi si verificano durante la notte. Sooly, un'intraprendente ragazza che abita nelle vicinanze, incuriosita dagli eventi comincia una personale indagine per scoprire i segreti della vecchia fabbrica, da qui inizierà per lei una straordinaria avventura a contatto con alieni molto speciali e incredibili rivelazioni sul senso stesso della vita terrestre.
"Il campp degli ufo", scritto da Zach Hughes, è un breve romanzo di fantascienza che offre anche numerose parentesi "rosa". La trama, grazie ad alcune trovate molto originali di Hughes, è assai carina.

Per quanto un poco troppo sdolcinato, specie verso la fine, è un buon romanzo.
