    Technology becomes self-aware—and goes haywire—in this comedic science fiction adventure by New York Times–bestselling author Alan Dean Foster.

    Without warning, kitchen appliances, laundry machines, and every other electronic gadget humans came to depend upon ceased to perform the tasks they were manufactured to do. Ignoring their programming, these devices now sought the meaning of life from an intelligence nonhuman in origin.

    Their quest ends in the most unexpected of places. Beneath the grounds of an upstate New York retirement community lies an alien spaceship.

    The Last Time They Met: A NovelThe Last Time They Met: A Novel by Anita Shreve

    Over 400 5-Star Reviews!

    A dazzling story about marriage, forgiveness, and chances not taken, by the best-selling author of A Wedding in December.

    At a literary festival, a poet named Linda Fallon meets for the first time in years a fellow poet, Thomas Janes, whose fame has grown during a decade of seclusion.

    This is no chance meeting. Thomas saw that Linda was scheduled to appear and chose this moment to reestablish contact with a woman he had passionately pursued years earlier. Their affair was disastrous for them both, a turning point in their lives, and the damage they did in those years still haunts them both.

    The Last Time They Met moves backward in time from Linda at age 52 to explore her life years earlier, at age 26, and still earlier, at 17. Anita Shreve examines the extraordinary resonance a single choice, even a single word, can have over the course of a lifetime.
