He likes his men macho, he likes his women strong and capable but demur, and he really likes it when an invasion of body-snatching parasites means everyone has to parade around naked to prove their bodies haven't been hijacked. ( ) The aliens were controlling the mind of every person they encountered - and they were multiplying far faster than they could be destroyed. It was up to Sam Cavanaugh, secret agent for the most powerful and deadly spy network in the U.S., to find a way to stop the invaders. And the only way to do it was to be invaded himself.
Met een uitgebreide produktie, die gaat van de klassiek gebleven korte verhalen van zijn "Future History" tot de langere, meer ambitieuze, maar ook meer controversiele romans als "Vreemdeling in een vreemd land", hoort Robert Heinlein tot de bekendste namen in sf. Zijn wel erg populaire "Puppet Masters" (1951) dat eerst in een Bruna-Omnibus verscheen, is hier als pocket ook al weer aan herdruk toe. Het boek verhaalt de strijd tegen een buitenaardse invasie, in de vorm van parasitaire symbioten, die zich op de rug van de mens vastzetten en hem via het zenuwstelsel volledig overmeesteren. Pretentieloos, dynamisch en vlot geschreven. (NBD|Biblion recensie, R.C.L.

HTML: First came the news that a flying saucer had landed in Iowa. Then came the announcement that the whole thing was a hoax. End of story. Case closed. Except that two agents of the most secret intelligence agency in the US government were on the scene and disappeared without reporting in, as did four other agents who were sent in. As a result, the head of the agency and his two top agents went in, and they managed to get out with their discovery: the earth is being invaded by slug-like aliens who can completely control the mind of any human they touch. What the humans know, they know. What the aliens want, no matter what, the human will do. And most of Iowa is already under their control. Sam Cavanaugh was one of the agents who discovered the truth. Unfortunately, that was just before he was taken over by one of the aliens and began working for the invaders, with no will of his own. And he has just learned that a high official in the Treasury Department is now under control of the aliens. Since the Treasury Department includes the Secret Service, which safeguards the president of the United States, control of the entire nation is near at hand. Can-do intelligence officer Cavanaugh is the only man who can stop the invaders. .Não foram encontradas descrições de bibliotecas. |
