Favorite Quote: The stars burned through the aurora. Something hid among them even now, she knew. Is there intelligent life on other worlds? her father had asked. Not anymore, her child had answered. We won.
Synopsis (PBS): After years of observing us, abducting us, and experimenting upon us, they have finally made their first mistake.As the sun sets on a lonely Connecticut farmhouse the shadows come, gliding through windows, sliding up walls, enveloping Sarah Gilmour as she searches frantically for her missing child. Then the shadows, with their dark, inhuman eyes, are everywhere, surrounding her as she sobs silently, realizing with horror that they have taken her daughter once again. And that now they have come back--for her.
Review: Alien abductions. Time travel. A future Earth that cannot survive without returning to the past. There were so many things I loved about this story. What I loved the best was that I just didn't see it coming --- the aliens are us, humans, from the future, changed beyond all recognition by genetic engineering to survive in a world that we can't imagine.
This book was scary, thrilling, and full of great characters. Highly recommended. I actually finished this book yesterday, so it counts towards October.
Rating: 9 / 10
