When the Stars Fell - Diane Lee Baron - Bog

Andie Thompson loves science fiction, but when a real spaceship lands in her suburban Maryland town, none of the books have prepared her for the nightmare that unfolds. Within days, the aliens send flying discs into the local neighborhoods and target any moving human with a disintegration laser. All that remains is a pile of ash. Andie teams up with Joe, a man she meets in her apartment community, and his bulldog Satchmo. After stockpiling provisions, they take to the highways to escape the unrelenting alien death rays. Their final destination: Shenandoah National Park.However, they haven't taken into the account the predatory humans or animals that reside in the park. Facing the trials of managing their shelter, replenishing their dwindling food supplies and experiencing affairs of the heart, Andie and Joe encounter endless challenges in their day to day existence. Why are the aliens targeting the people of Earth? Who will survive this apocalypse, and who will die? Can Andie and Joe hide long enough to survive the alien invasion that ultimately scours the Earth? When the Stars Fell is a modern-day science fiction/adventure story with engaging characters and a page-turning plot that questions whether we are doing enough to save our own planet in the here and now.
