From the New York Times bestselling author of Cocoon (which was made into an Academy Awardβwinning movie) comes 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, βolderβ women are inseparable friends. But their lives start to go haywire when mischievous Rosie submits her friendsβ names to an ad soliciting βMail Order Brides for Farmers & MinersβDistant Locations.β 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 ZAPβitβs gone! Exactly three years later, the van reappears on the same road. But this time, the women appear to be thirty years younger βand theyβre all pregnant! The βdistant locationsβ 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 βmixed-matingβ be born on the motherβs home planet, forcing their return. But as they re-adapt to life on earth, surprises and problems arise as theyβre faced with a media circus, doctors, nurses, police, priests, and nuns, not to mention their new humanoid mates. In Sapersteinβs wacky, comedic-drama tradition thatβs out of this world, Snatched builds to an exciting, uplifting climax that celebrates life, love, and the universal condition known as family.
