BOOK DESCRIPTION
Epic, entertaining, Stranger in a Strange Land caused an uproar when it first appeared as it savaged conventional, religious, sexual and social ideas.
Still topical and challenging, the story of Valentine Michael Smith – the first man from Mars to visit Earth – is in the great tradition that stretches from Gulliver's Travels to 1984.
Originally published in a shorter version, this is the most celebrated science fiction novel of all time in its full, unexpurgated form.
