The Puppet Masters » (Unabridged)

A science fiction pioneer, Robert A. Heinlein wrote popular stories that doubled as vessels for his political and cultural observations. In classics such as Stranger in a Strange Land and Starship Troopers, Heinlein blended suspenseful adventure with (sometimes controversial) visions of alternate worlds.

At key locations across the North American continent, an invasion force is taking over communications, government, industry, and even people’s bodies. The nation is helpless to stop it because the invaders multiply far faster than they can be destroyed, controlling the mind of every unsuspecting person they encounter. Enter Sam Cavanaugh, a can-do intelligence officer for the United States’ most secret service. Cavanaugh is the only man who can stop the invaders. But to do that he’ll have to be invaded himself.
