Christopher Pike, the bestselling author of the Remember Me and The Last Vampire series, has more than fifty novels to his credit. His previous adult novels include Sati, The Season of Passage, and The Cold One. Pike lives in Santa Barbara, California.
From School Library Journal:
YA-- A story of the Second Coming. Sati, a blond, blue-eyed beauty, declares simply that she is God and has come to "play a while." Her story is told by a skeptical truck driver, Michael, who picks up the newly reborn goddess along a desert highway and takes her to his apartment and into his circle of friends. Although God appears as Mother rather than Father in this carefully and sparingly written fantasy, the language and viewpoint are uncomplicatedly masculine. Pike explicates all sophisticated allusions in context, making the book clearly suitable for YAs. Readers should be comfortable with the narrator's voice and psyche, as Michael struggles with his doubts and desire to believe. Sati could be a valuable addition to a growing library of multicultural literature for high school students. Although its characters are not from minorities, it will make a fine introduction to non-Christian religious beliefs, for Sati's philosophy and persona is based on a mixture of Buddhist, Hindu, and other spiritual thought. The essence of her thesis is that "We're all God."-- Marya Andreen, R. E. Lee High School, Springfield, VA
