Synopsis

When Keith Stoner awoke, he found himself in a world changed almost beyond recognition. Eighteen years before, Stoner had been the American member of a joint U.S.Soviet mission to capture an alien ship. The Soviets had to pull out, but Stoner persisted, and while on the strange ship, he fell into suspended animation. Jo Camerata, the ambitious young student who fell in love with Stoner, is now head of Vanguard Industries, which has recovered the alien ship. As a result, her company is now in control of its vast new technology and the fortune it reapsand in control of Keith Stoner. What Camerata doesn't know, however, is that someone else has been awake, someone who dwells within Stoner's mind. The alien presence that has kept Stoner alive all this time is now free and intends to explore our world, letting nothing stand in its way.

Oh, Ben Bova, where did you go wrong with this one? Oh yeah. When you decided to make it all about teaching the alien inside Stoner's brain all about humans, and everything that he learned as a truth about humans was reductionist evolutionary psychology. Note: The rest of this review has been withdra......more

Goodreads review by Gary on February 11, 2022

Ben Bova's The Alien Within rests on an unusual premise. The protagonist, Ken Stoner, had been trapped on an alien spaceship that passed through our solar system.

Goodreads review by Dirk on December 11, 2024

Soooo, I actually enjoyed this much more than I thought I would. But, you know what they say about expectations. After the events of Voyagers, and almost two decades later, Keith Stoner awakens in a laboratory. Thing is, he is not quite himself, and amongst other things, starts exhibiting some suspici......more
