Product Description
The pregnancy of Newcomer Cathy Frankel by her human boyfriend, Matt Sikes, ignites tensions city-wide as extremist groups who fear the implications of the birth of the first half-human/half-Newcomer child threaten Cathy's safety. The danger escalates when the medical facility treating Cathy is attacked, forcing her into seclusion. Meanwhile, George Francisco is drawn into a Newcomer cult headed by a mysterious messianic figure. Obsessed with the cult, George quits the police force to devote all his time to his new religion. Now with his partner gone, Sikes must defend his newborn baby from a hostile band of criminals determined to destroy anyone who's different-- even an innocent child.

Least favorite of the Alien Nation novels
15 Jan 2008
Format:Mass Market Paperback
This book felt like it was two separate, half-written, main stories wedged between one cover. The cult storyline starts the book and gets more or less written out when it could have been an excellent stand-alone instead of a poorly inserted afterthought. The pregnancy feels like it came straight out of fanfiction, just for the sake of screwing with the parents. Albert's storyline, a case of why bother putting it in since it has no bearing at all on the main disassociated storylines, was skipable without having to worry about missing anything.
Sadly, the writing itself is very good as is the characterization in this book, it's just not very well put together as a package.
Too bad this was the last of the series.

This is an excellent book that fits into the saga well. Very touching in places, outraging in others. Definately a good read.
Sci Fi - good story
