Beyond the Stars: A Human Among Martians
Imagine being raised by an alien civilization, then returning to Earth as an adult - physiologically human but mentally Martian. This is Valentine Michael Smith's extraordinary predicament in Robert Heinlein's "Stranger in a Strange Land." Born on Mars after his mother died in childbirth, Smith was the sole survivor of humanity's first expedition to the red planet. Twenty-five years later, a second expedition discovers him - a being with extraordinary powers who views Earth through utterly alien eyes. Smith's introduction to Earth is traumatic. Kept in isolation at Bethesda Medical Center, he struggles with Earth's gravity, unfamiliar foods, and human customs. When nurse Gillian Boardman offers him water, she unwittingly participates in a sacred Martian ritual - creating an unbreakable bond between "water brothers." This simple act sets in motion a journey that will challenge Earth's most fundamental institutions. What makes Smith truly remarkable aren't just his cultural differences but his superhuman abilities. He can enter trance states that slow his metabolism to near-death levels, recall anything perfectly, and most dramatically, make objects or people vanish completely through Martian discipline. Yet despite these powers, Smith remains childlike in his innocence - a being of immense potential who must learn the most basic aspects of human interaction.
