Synopsis

The complete, uncut version of Robert A. Heinlein's all-time masterpiece, the brilliant novel that grew from a cult favorite to a bestseller to a science fiction classic.

Raised by Martians on Mars, Valentine Michael Smith is a human who has never seen another member of his species. Sent to Earth, he is a stranger who must learn what it is to be a man. But his own beliefs and his powers far exceed the limits of humankind, and as he teaches them about grokking and water-sharing, he also inspires a transformation that will alter Earth's inhabitants forever...

Review:

Praise for Robert A. Heinlein and Stranger in a Strange Land

"One of the grand masters of science fiction."--Wall Street Journal

"A brilliant mind-bender...Wonderfully humanizing......Some 60,000 words that were cut from Heinlein's manuscript for economy back in 1961 are at last taking their rightful place in the body of world literature."--Kurt Vonnegut, The New York Times Book Review

"Certainly among the most influential...science fiction novel[s] of all time."--The Guardian

"This book was destined to become a bestseller, shaping the sensibilities of a generation...The uncut novel more explicitly exhibits the author's views on human sexuality, women's issues, and geopolitics."--The Boston Globe

"One of the most popular science fiction novels ever published."--Library Journal
