What would you do...
...if it were your child?

The invasion has begun.
An invasion not from the stars but from within our wombs. All over the world children are being born…different. Their features are alien, their DNA isn’t human, their loyalties are unknown. As scientists, spies, and regular citizens race to make sense of this new disease they find themselves asking the same question: Is this the first wave of an alien assault on Earth?

Novelist and bioterrorism expert Dominic Peloso weaves a complex tale of alien invasion, environmental catastrophe, and societal upheaval, in a world not too removed from our own. Adopted Son perfectly blends hard sci-fi with biting political and social commentary to create a truly modern literary masterpiece that transcends genres.

5,0 su 5 stelle I wish I could give more than 5 stars.
Recensito nel Regno Unito il 2 aprile 2017

This book kept me captivated from beginning to end, the aliens used a virus to alter the DNA of the children Earth, this is a story about Humanity, this is a story that makes you think deeply about things, about how you would react yourself to the events that this book describes, I have never read a book like it to be honest, I read the ending twice as it was so good.

Just read the whole book again in less than a month, such a brilliant book.

4,0 su 5 stelle Fantastic Social and Political Commentary
Recensito negli Stati Uniti il 30 aprile 2013

The first few pages, I thought this was going to be a really cheesy sci-fi and I almost put it down to move to another book on my massive to-read list. I'm very, very glad I decided to give it a few more pages. This book is almost like the movie District 9 in that, under a thin veil of alien sci-fi, it's a very poignant social and political commentary. It was fascinating to watch the characters progress over time. Peloso did a wonderful job of showing corruption, the rise of activism, the rise of terrorism, and the mob hysteria caused by the unknown. I also liked the occasional inclusion of "transcripts" and "journal articles" to make the story feel more realistic. It was very well written and I thoroughly enjoyed it.

I did have to subtract half a star for the large number of typos, though, and another half because the jumping chronology was difficult to follow.

Since english is not my native tongue I won`t say anything about things like grammar . What I can say is, that the story was surprisingly good , touching and it kept me reading...
Good, strong charakters, a touch of reality (like how politics work in real life) and what I liked most - a clever ending

Adopted Son
By Dominic Peloso

I must say that as I began to read Adopted Son by Dominic Peloso I was fearful that there was no way in the world I was going to enjoy it. Yet as I began to turn the pages-or tap the pages- and become engrossed in what I feel is a body of work that although science fiction has important parallels to the world today, I was very pleased.

Adopted Son brings readers to a significant point in our future history where a monumental civil rights movement begins because of the existence and legal acceptance of a new group of individuals-aliens born to human parents-that are not necessarily accepted by the majority despite all else. In our past, groups of individuals have been treated as less than based solely on characteristics that are different than the dominating group such as women, blacks, homosexuals to name a few. Their struggles to be treated as equal-although unique to each group-are very similar and result in historical changes.

Although Peloso doesn't waste precious pages delving too deeply into developing the plethora of characters that certainly make this story happen, you definitely learn enough to actually feel as though he has. I also found myself enjoying his way of telling the reader the time and location a part of the story was taking place by a brief bold snip- it proceeding the section. In doing so the little details that might just be filler elements didn’t distract you or detract from the meat of the story like trimming the fat from a good piece of meat.

A possible alien invasion is not an uncommon theme amongst works of science fiction. However, aliens being born naturally to humans where the reproductive systems of both parents have been genetically altered in some way without their knowledge or the typical tales of being abducted by aliens and impregnated are an uncommon and unique take on things. Peloso does the concept proud, covering all possible directions it could go in. As I might have mentioned, I’m not a huge science fiction fan, but this book had me not wanting to put it down.

Although I hate to pick apart what I obviously enjoyed, it's my job! Luckily in the case of Adopted Son there aren't too many issues to discuss. For those more "sensitive" readers I can give this one a clean bill of health. Although reproduction is discussed many times, there aren’t any details of the actual copulation. There is talk of the impending battle that may occur but very minimal, if any, violence takes place. Adopted Son is acceptable for the young reader.

As I said, I'm not a big science fiction fan but strangely enough, Adopted Son left me feeling cozy. I'm certain to some that might be a strange description of how I felt but it is the most accurate. Suffice it to say I enjoyed reading this piece and I'd pick up Peloso's work again. My one negative is that it needs to be edited or proofed more carefully.

So there goes it! You need to check this book out, even if you aren't typically a sci-fi fan. The family friendly and hugely exciting Adopted Son is one you don't want to miss out on. I really enjoyed it and the underlying themes that are extremely relevant even in today's society.

What would you do if strange alien like children were suddenly being born all over the world? Would you welcome them or see them as a threat?

That's the premise of this book which I thoroughly enjoyed and left me thinking long after I finished it. It raises lots of issues which can transfer into many spheres of life which deal with discrimination such as race.
