Book Description

In the near future, Adelle ?Del? Summers is a young nurse for NASA in Florida one day, and a survivor of an alien invasion the next. Somehow unaffected by the mind control techniques that turn others into automatons, Del must try to adapt, overcome her fears, and find a way to maintain her individuality and survive in a world that will never be the same. Finding a way out, or through, her private hell on earth will tax her skill, heart, and mental abilities to their limits. Does even the least of us have what it takes to make a difference, despite the obstacles fate places in our way?

5.0 out of 5 stars Alien Earth, July 28, 2002

This review is from: Alien Earth (Hardcover)

For an action packed, emotionally charged book that is hard to put down, I recommend Alien Earth. For a fantasy fiction novel, the story is flavored with a sense of realism as you find yourself picturing how you would act in the impossible situation that the main characters find themselves in. I highly recommend this book to all of my friends. I really enjoyed it, and I rarely take to science fiction novels.

A fabulous read for the Sci - Fi novel lover. After some character development in the first few chapters, be prepared to not put this one down till its done!

It is important that you stay with this book, as it seems a little slow at first, but as I was to find out, character development very important later on in the story. I enjoyed this book because it puts a different twist on the alien invasion of earth. The aliens even have a special use for Disney World. Hope you enjoy this book as much I did. Just a note, I read the last 100 pages in one sitting, as I didn't want to put it down.
