Lennox is a troubled teenager with no family. Ava is eight months pregnant and fleeing her abusive husband. Heather is a grieving mother and cancer sufferer. They don’t know each other, but when a meteor streaks over Edinburgh, all three suffer instant, catastrophic strokes...

...only to wake up the following day in hospital, miraculously recovered.

When news reaches them of an octopus-like creature washed up on the shore near where the meteor came to earth, Lennox senses that some extra-terrestrial force is at play. With the help of Ava, Heather and a journalist, Ewan, he rescues the creature they call 'Sandy' and goes on the run.

But they aren’t the only ones with an interest in the alien … close behind are Ava’s husband, the police and a government unit who wants to capture the creature, at all costs. And Sandy’s arrival may have implications beyond anything anyone could imagine…

Road trip with a friendly alien

No rating

I guess I’d describe this as a road trip with a friendly alien. It was an easy read. However, I can’t say I found the story especially thought-provoking or challenging or moving or all the other things the hype suggested. The main characters were pretty much pushed around by circumstance all the way through, and I didn’t get a sense of personal growth or change. The storyline held no surprises and it was, well, pretty linear. Still, a pleasant enough way to spend a few hours.
