Stranger In A Strange Land
(Robert Heinlein)

Publicidade
Valentine you sexy thing! When the second manned mission to Mars arrives on the red planet it finds not only a thriving population of Martians but also a human, Valentine Michael Smith born to the crew of the first ill fated mission before their deaths. He is brought back to Earth but things do not go smoothly for him. Being raised among Martians he has their views on life and death and also a small smattering of their mystic seeming powers, a combination that makes him seem like a prophet or messiah on Earth.Surround by a group of hippesque friends and admirers, Valentine tries to make his way as holy man and, when that fails, allows himself to be killed by and angry mob, but not before a halo appears around his head, setting up the foundation for his own religion. By this point in the story, the author has revealed that the Martians destroyed a planet where the asteroid belt lies and are using Valentine as a scout. We may be next. We?ve also learned that the afterlife is quite mutable and that Valentine is planning on making some changes once he arrives there.The plot is complex and Heinlein digresses often onto side topics. There are ?new blurbs? at the beginning of some chapters that are revealing and funny. There is even a character that is clearly an avatar for Heinlein and likes to make profound statements from time to time.While there is more and more genuine character development in this book than in some Heinlein books, ?Stranger? is still very over sexed. Most of the main characters get intimate with each other in a not too graphic but prolific fashion. The Martians also have the habit of eating their dead, something Valentine teaches his friends.
