Adopted Son par Dominic Peloso

  1. 00
    Le Fleau par Stephen King (JessiAdams)
    JessiAdams: This book by Peloso has a very similar style to The Stand. Both deal with similar themes, in that they are both about the end of the world as we know it and how people choose to deal with that.

    L'échelle de Darwin par Greg Bear (JessiAdams)

What would you do if strange alien like children were suddenly being born all over the world? Would you welcome them or see them as a threat?

That's the premise of this book which I thoroughly enjoyed and left me thinking long after I finished it. It raises lots of issues which can transfer into many spheres of life which deal with discrimination such as race. ( )

Adopted Son
Dominic Peloso
2012/Invisible Colllege Press

When "Adopted Son" opens, Tom and Lorraine are in a delivery room in Tyler Texas, having a baby. The problem is, their baby is different than any other baby anyone has seen - and eerily looks, well - like an alien baby might. And this is just The first alien like Baby to be born; many more will be born world over as time passes.

And so begins the intriguing tale of man's attempts to deal with these changes - or not. As the years pass, the mostly unaccepted children will grow up, and then what? As humanity struggles to understand these new earth children - part man, part alien, there remains the eternal uneasy question - will the aliens come to collect these children - or attempt to takeover earth? And will these children help man? Or the invaders?
Dominic Peloso's must read book could easily be a cautionary tale of our own future!! ( )

I was given this book in exchange for an honest review.

This was an interesting story. I did read it fairly quickly but it wasn't one of those can't put it down type of books. The author does a great job with character development and the storyline is great, but just didn't get that engrossed in the story. I would recommend this to people who like sci-fi and I would love to read more from this author. ( )

A book about aliens dropping containers on Earth. Somehow, like a virus, pregnant women began giving birth to aliens. Their DNA was completely different than humans. First, the aliens were shunned, as would be expected by our human societies, but eventually humans became the ones that were different. Humanity as a dying breed. However, these aliens were socially like humans. They stood up for their way of life, just like humans, & so the 'takeover' of Earth by aliens did not occur.
The book was good--believable, detailed progression of species change, & an ending that you wouldn't expect. I'd recommend this as a worthwhile read. ( )

This is a book that touched me, it really made me feel something. I was born with a genetic disorder that made me different. I could identify with the alien children. I think that when an author stirs up emotions he has done his job, and done it well. The plot line is a little far fetched,but it is science fiction so that is to be expected. If I were forced to find something I didn't care for in the book, it would be that there was a little to much scientific mumbo jumbo.
I received this book for free in exchange for providing and honest review ( )
