Alien ChildDescriptionNita was the only human being left on Earth. Her guardian, Llipel, had traveled over the entire planet searching for any sign of human life and had found none. Only Nita lived, and even her life was the result of a mistake on the part of her alien guardian.While exploring a building called the Kwalung-Ibarra Institute, Llipel had entered the "cold room," where humans had once stored embryos. Somehow her actions had caused the embryo that was Nita to be revived. Feeling responsible for the small life she had unwittingly started, Llipel chose to remain on Earth and care for the child. Nita loved her guardian, but often longed to see another like herself--someone without fur and claws. But how could an entire planet be wiped clean of all human life? What could have happened to this world to cause such devastation? Should Nita revive the other embryos stored at the Institute, or let the human race die out with herself? Alien Child is a story of unique courage and fortitude--a gripping tale of a young girl who holds the fate of an entire race in her hands. --From the book jacket |
