Seekers are those souls who actively search for any human bodies left in human control. There are a select few souls that chose as their occupation to be “Seekers”. The takeover is all but complete, with souls happily occupying their human hosts. The Host takes place well after that fact. They have taken over many planets, those where it was deemed that the dominant species wasn’t worthy of the bounty offered by their worlds. Souls are peaceful, curious and technologically advanced. They’ve been replaced by “souls” – a parasitic species that uses human bodies as hosts while eliminating or deeply repressing the human personality that once resided in them. The Host (now a major motion picture!) takes place on a future Earth where human beings are no longer the dominant species. I was a little dubious about wading into author Stephenie Meyer’s tome-like stand alone, The Host, but with a strong recommendation from both a YA and an actual A, I took the plunge. I read the first book and didn’t hate it, but found it too angsty for my taste so didn’t continue the series. As much as I like YA fiction, I didn’t jump aboard the Twilight train.
