Alienation: An Invasion Novel
He had to betray his species to save ours.
Ash thought he was a normal guy with a normal life: a wife he loved, and a stepdaughter who resented him.
Until the day he gets pulled over by a cop who is more than he seems, and that illusion is shattered in one violent revelation.
Ash isn’t who, or what, he thinks he is.
His memories have been wiped to protect himself, and the world, and the only way to save the world from the looming alien invasion is to rediscover his past lives and destroy The Puncture, a powerful device that the aliens are seeking.
But to do so, he’ll need to rely on the last person in the world who wants to help him: his step-daughter, Darcy, who hates him for the tragedy that he brought into their lives.
Set up for a crime they didn’t commit, and hunted by an alien posing as an FBI agent, Ash and Darcy must race the clock to find The Puncture before the aliens do. The fate of humanity hangs in the balance.
But first they’ll have to survive one another.

Long story going nowhere.
The story moves along well at first, with the hero learning more and more about his myriad past hosts. Then it all comes crashing down in an anticlimax that left me thinking what happened to the invasion? The human race?

Part1 ?
Different, took awhile to get into it, but to be fair have not read a story like it. Kind of sorry to see the apparent end of Ash but felt like there was something to follow. No Allan attack?

Pretty Good
How refreshing... a sci-fi book uncontaminated with sex or politics. Who'da thunk it??? It's fairly well edited too, only a few gaffes.

Poorly written
The book was poorly written and even the editing was worse, if it did have an editor. They kept losing track of the characters.

Not Human
An Alien living a human life. A husband, a father saving a daughter’s
life from those who wants to kill both of them. Police, alien agents in human form

If you have been reading the Invasion universe books you will find that this one is different.
Written from the point of view of one of the aliens it makes a refreshing change from the chaos of human nature (oh my gods the aliens are coming let’s through law out the window and loot everywhere!)
I really enjoyed this outlook on the Invasion and the world at large. I loved the characters they are relatable and the story flowed well, keeping you reading well into the witching hour!
There was nothing about this story that I disliked.
I think that it is a good read for all ages and well worth picking up.
