Melanie Stryder is the person who has refused to allow Wanderer to take control of her mind. The feelings of the host (Melanie Stryder) now take over the thoughts of Wanderer and a time comes when both of them fall in love with the same man. In the search that ensues, they come across the humans who are still surviving. Now that seekers are also after them, Wanderer faces the dilemma whether she'll be able to convince the humans that Melanie Stryder is alive in the brain of her body? The Host is likely to appeal to the readers even outside the regular fan base of Stephenie Meyer.
