This is an interesting twist on alien invasion. It has the science fiction aspect with wormholes and biotechnology. There are philosophical questions about life, free will, and consciousness. At the center of it all is quantum biologist Sally Jacobs and Anna Lewis, an Archaeology doctoral student. Besides an academic theft of ideas, blackmail and a dig that becomes very sensitive, there are egg sacs, body parts, and abductions.

Each one of us has thought from time to time that we could somehow influence the outcome of events by just thinking strongly about the desired result. The author of this book takes that feeling one step further. He envisions an alien biotech society where this indeed works.

That society is our parent race, which somewhat explains our secret thoughts on the matter. They are there to guide us and help us develop as we grow into consciousness. Many self-interested entities on earth who are in control would recent this alien race’s influence and would even kill and go to war to destroy the knowledge of it.

Some of the things of this book seem a little silly; sort of like the writing of Terry Pratchett. Some examples of this are talking lemurs with pink stripes and a monkey with flashlights that blinds people so they can steal an embryonic sack. But these illustrate the point that, with conscious thought, you can create anything that you whimsically desire. The universe has an abundance of resources and they can be harnessed and manipulated with the conscious mind enhanced with alien biotech according to the story.

I think the author made a mistake choosing his title. I probably would've never picked this book up just based on the title. The book’s description started me reading. Passing this book up would have been a mistake on my part. This was a very enjoyable read and it's a book that I had to struggle to put down. ( )

Aliens Got My Sally is a fun and quick read. At first blush, the story felt a little rushed. I found myself wishing for more explanation of the alien race, the science and how two million women could be abducted without a media storm erupting. At the end, the world that Lee Baldwin created stayed with me though. I finished the book in one afternoon when I was home sick. The story has a deliberate pulp fiction/B movie feel which I believe to be an intentional choice by the author. At the end, I wished for more. It will leave you with interesting questions about the future. There is more here than meets the eye! ( )
