Synopsis
In Heinlein's The Puppet Masters , Earth is being invaded and being taken over via communications, government, and industry. The slug-like aliens control the human brain, and are bent on taking it all for themselves! Agent Sam Cavanaugh is a spy; a secret agent with intelligence, strength, good looks, and respect for the good old USA - and it's up to him to save the day, and Earth as we know it. Written in 1951, this glimpse at 2007 is a fun ride of old school science fiction.
