«Amos de títeres» is the science fiction novel by Robert A. Heinlein, published by Ediciones Orbis in paperback (256 pages, in Spanish).
Alien invaders resembling slugs arrive in the United States and take control of people: they only need to touch someone to dominate their mind and actions. Sam Cavanaugh, an agent of a secret section of the US intelligence service, discovers the threat and decides to let himself be invaded to fight it from within.
The novel was originally published in English as The Puppet Masters in 1951; this 1986 edition belongs to the Biblioteca de Ciencia Ficción collection and includes a translation by Francisco Blanco.
For science fiction readers who enjoy alien invasions and espionage plots.
Robert Anson Heinlein was an American science fiction author, engineer, and naval officer. Sometimes called the "dean of science fiction writers", he was among the first to emphasize scientific accuracy in his fiction and was thus a pioneer of the subgenre of hard science fiction. His published works, both fiction and non-fiction, express admiration for competence and emphasize the value of critical thinking. His plots often presented provocative situations which challenged conventional social mores. His work continues to have an influence on the science fiction genre and on modern culture more generally.
