Though the Twilight series comes to an end later this year with Breaking Dawn ? Part 2, author Stephenie Meyer?s follow-up, a sci-fi novel called The Host, is already getting the big screen treatment.?

Here?s the synopsis for The Host:

THE HOST is a riveting story about the survival of love and the human spirit in a time of war. Our world has been invaded by an unseen enemy. Humans become hosts for these invaders, their minds taken over while their bodies remain intact. Most of humanity has succumbed.
