Ourselves

Ourselves  by S.G. Redling      Audio Book:  11  hours,  7 minutes; 318 pages

What a concept – the Amish are alien vampire-like creatures that look like us but drink blood.   Whoa!   Okay,  S. G. Redling  never actually says it’s the Amish but her descriptions of their dress, lifestyle, customs and speech certainly spell out A-M-I-S-H to me.   And what an intriguing concept, a religious sect that excludes itself from all others have a very strict set of principles they live by so strict they don’t even associate with others of their kind who aren’t as strict as they are.    What an excellent forum for aliens from outer space to enter into earth and be invisible in full view.    Fascinating.    Just like in all sectors of society there are extremists and there are military, protectors, storytellers, and what appear to be people similar to humans that work at jobs and own businesses and go about their days as normally as do humans.    How all these groups and the humans interplay is very well done.     Lots of plot twists and you are never completely sure who the good guys and who the bad guys are until the end.   It is quite a ride.     And what an intriguing thought that vampires could have come from outerspace.     Gives that “Chariot of the Gods,” thing a whole new interpretation, huh?
