From the New York Times bestselling author of Cocoonâadapted into an Academy Awardâwinning movieâcomes a sci-fi adventure about family, love, and, in a universe teeming with life, deciding who and what are the aliens.
Six single, semi-retired, âolderâ women are inseparable friends. But their lives start to go haywire when mischievous Rosie submits her friendsâ names to an ad soliciting âMail Order Brides for Farmers & MinersâDistant Locations.â A few weeks later, as the six women are driving along a lonely beach road, their vehicle suddenly begins to shake, the sky grows dark, an eerie light envelops the van, and ZAPâitâs gone!
Exactly three years later, the van reappears on the same road. But this time, the women appear to be thirty years youngerâand theyâre all pregnant!
The âdistant locationsâ advertised were, in fact, elsewhere in our galaxy. A process, required for deep space travel, has somehow reversed their aging. They are happy with their new lives. However, a universal law requires that babies of âmixed-matingâ be born on the motherâs home planet, forcing their return. But as they re-adapt to life on earth, surprises and problems arise as theyâre faced with a media circus, doctors, nurses, police, priests, and nuns, not to mention their new humanoid mates.
In Sapersteinâs wacky, comedic-drama tradition thatâs out of this world, Snatched builds to an exciting, uplifting climax that celebrates life, love, and the universal condition known as family.
