Sci-Fi

Sci-Fi is not just for Trekkies. It's for those who like alternate realities, time travel, radical technology and amazing (ok, and sometimes bleak) futures. I personally love Sci-Fi and Fantasy novels. I live reality everyday so it's great to try out something new! For those looking to enter an alternate universe, then explore the books below.

The Host by Stephenie Meyer

It's attach of the body snatchers where you actually like the body snatchers!

In this SF thriller, planet-hopping parasites are inserting their silvery centipede selves into human brains, curing cancer, eliminating war and turning Earth into paradise. When Melanie Stryder is invaded by an alien, she refuses to relinquish control or give up on finding the man she loves. In true Meyer fashion, this is a wonderful adventure story with lots of romantic intrigue. (FIC MEYER)
