“Glad Tithings” by R. E. Wood is not your typical story about alien invasion.  It’s a story where conquering humans all happens within the walls of a church.Rick and Jill Wilson worked long and hard so they could have a long lasting retirement in a small town with a breathtaking view.  With a rather large nest egg, they bought a home in Parrish, five hours outside of New York City.  At first, the locals showed them the cold shoulder, except for the local preacher.  Within days, Rick’s world turned upside down at the other side of his wife’s church membership and strange bruises on her body.  With a cop who saw him as the enemy, Rick stood alone among folks he couldn’t trust and a wife who longer loved him like she had before they arrived.  A chance friendship with Connie, the local diner’s waitress, brings him hope in the midst of his struggle and his wife’s absolute devotion to her new congregation.  With the cops and the minister tracking every move, will Rick escape Parrish with his wife on his side?I was hooked by the first few pages.  After a slowdown for a few pages, the story picked up again and didn’t disappoint.  I recommend the book to adults who enjoy stories about alien invasions with a twist.  Some descriptions are graphic and are therefore not for the weak…mind or stomach.
