Kiwigirlreads | 5 comments I was trying to remember a book or series of books I read as a teenager in the early 90's - it could have been published in the 80s or 90s. Watching a trailer for the Host movie made me remember it. It can't remember any names for them.

I think there could have been three books. So what I can remember of the plot was that most people had disappeared of the Earth and there were only a few teenagers left and this group was trying to figure out what happened and they were on a journey somewhere to find answers.

*spoiler alert*

I remember a plane, a labyrinth and that in the end it was aliens who had taken everyone. When the people agreed to share their bodies with the aliens they were returned, the aliens made most people better (personalities were completed by the aliens or something) but once they got back some of the people were angry because the teenagers had made this deal for all of humanity.

That's what I can remember anyway, any help is appreciated - it's been bugging me as I'm usually pretty good at figuring these out.

Tab (tabbrown) | 5084 comments Kiwigirlreads, do you remember anything about the cover?

Besides the ending, do you remember any other sci-fi elements (spaceships, robots, etc)? What category did this fall under? Sci-fi, suspense, horror, etc?


Debbie is on Storygraph (silentrequiem) | 89 comments There's someone looking for a similar sounding book from 2012 with no luck. If it's the same, it may provide more details. http://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/9...


Kiwigirlreads | 5 comments Hi

That is absolutely all I remember about the books. Debbie thanks for that I think it sounds like it could be the same book/s.

Kiwigirlreads, if you're still looking for this series, John's suggestion of Last On Earth by Marilyn Kaye looks promising. The last book The Return mentions aliens and a labyrinth. Series link - https://www.goodreads.com/series/6126...

Has anyone else read the Marilyn Kaye series and confirm that the plot points match up?
