HEINLEIN When six agents sent to investigate the landing of an unidentified space ship in Iowa pulled a disappearing act, the "Old Man" proceeded to the area himself, ac companied by "Sam Nivins" and a beauteous red-haired girl called "Mary." (No- body had real names in the "Old Man's" super-secret security organization.) In Iowa, they made the startling and horrifying discovery that the flying saucer- like craft had brought invaders from another world-parasitic slugs which could dominate men's wills as well as their bodies, turning them into veritable puppets. Taking this information straight to the President, the "Old Man" was not able to convince the Chief Executive of the na- tion's grave peril, so "Sam" returned to the Middle West to bring back a slug alive. For a brief and terrifying period he was captured by one of the parasites, and became their pawn for infiltrating the east- ern metropolis of New Brooklyn. At last a national emergency was pro- claimed, but it was too late. All methods of combat seemed useless until an astounding weapon came from an entirely unexpected source to rid America of her puppet mas- ters. This story is not for squeamish readers. Its jet-paced plot is so thrillingly realistic that it might be happening to you. BOOK CLUB EDITION
