Product Details


Product Description

From Booklist

In 2019, a mysterious, egg-shaped artifact is discovered on the ocean floor off the coast of Samoa. Denser than any known material, the object defies all attempts to either break through or communicate with it. Marine biologist Russell Sutton, whose last major feat was raising the Titanic, takes charge of the excavation, hoping to make a fortune by capitalizing on the artifact's probable extraterrestrial origin. Sutton little suspects that his destiny will soon intertwine with a pair of shape-shifting--and apparently immortal--aliens. One, known as the changeling, has been on Earth millions of years, assuming every identity from shark to human being, and slowly learning to love. The other, called the chameleon, has excelled in warlike roles and delights in killing. Neither knows of the other's existence, but their slowly merging paths will meet in a stunning climax that determines their ultimate fates--and that of the artifact. Award-winning sf veteran Haldeman proves as engaging a storyteller as ever, especially given this book's irresistible premise and page-turning action. Carl Hays

4.0 out of 5 stars A good, fast and enjoyable read, Dec 24 2005
By A Customer
An "aliens among us" story that's well written and holds together nicely. It's one that I think would get more enjoyable on the second and third readings as his writing style is smooth but also sparce. I've read so many books by lazy writers lately that compensate for it by just packing on an extra 100+ pages of unneeded detail that it was a refreshing change. I could have wished for slightly more development from the secondary antagonist, but as the character was a very 1-D character in their motivations and since one of the plot points was that he wouldn't/couldn't change his ways, I'll live with it.

There's not a lot of development into the "science" part of the science fiction, as he uses the "any science so far ahead is indistinguishable from magic" argument to good effect. The main plot is a character development story told in flashbacks over most of a hundred years. The weakest part of the book was in the justification of two characters falling in love in the last section of the book. It's where Haldeman's sparce style worked against him as I'm left with the feeling that one of the characters fell hard just because, psycologically, it was time for them to do so.

It's always nice when you like the book so much that you keep reading until 2am. A good read.
