Abstract:
A human infant is stranded on Mars. The Martians raise him up in their own way. He is recovered by a human ship several years later, and is brought back to Earth.

Spectre's Review
Ick. I'll save you time right now to tell you it's a waste of time. The hilite of the whole book was where the author talked about a man who gained a reputation for sustained belching. I honestly don't have much to say about this book that's good. It was so slow moving, I aged twelve years reading the damn thing. Sure, Robert A. Heinlein is a good author (Starship Troopers was great!), but this one sucked DOGS. You may have to read it anyway, just because of tradition, but you can probably read this review and get just as much out of the experience.
