LET THE FIRE FALL
Quite an entertaining novel with an unusual combination of themes. The UFO crash-lands on Earth, and the only survivor is the newly born alien baby. The doctor switches him with the illegitimate child of the local up-and-coming charismatic preacher. We then get a kid-with-super-powers story crossed with rather enjoyable satire of the evangelical movement. It's not bad at all.___________________________________________
Another book on Scott Cupp's Ten Overlooked Odd Speculative Fiction Classics. I agree with Mr Cupp - this book deserves to be better known.
