Summary "The Hills of Home" by Alfred Coppel is a science fiction novel written during the mid-20th century. The book explores themes of identity, longing, and the concept of home through the lens of space exploration. It delves into the psychological complexities of its characters as they navigate the challenges of their environments and inner struggles, particularly set against the backdrop of alien worlds. The story centers around Colonel Kimball, who, while preparing for a dangerous mission to Mars, reflects on his childhood and the haunting memories of home and family. Intertwined with his mission are vivid dreams and flashbacks of the Valley Dor, where he imagined battles with Plant Men and interactions with iconic Martian characters, evoking his deep longing for a place he feels he truly belongs. As he finally lands on Mars, Kimball confronts the loneliness and reality of his situation, experiencing a profound connection to his past as he hears the calls of those he once loved, ultimately leading him toward an awakening realization of where he truly calls home.
