Summary: Third book in the series about Ukiah Oregon, a half-alien/half-human young man who was raised by wolves and then by lesbians and now is a private investigator caught in the middle of a war between alien body-snatchers, some of whom are trying to take over the earth and others who are trying to protect it. Writing is so-so, but the plot and characters are engaging, and I find all of these books enjoyable reads, which is why they get 3’s. Wen Spencer is a woman. Since this is the third in a series, the lesbian moms' role isn’t that big.
