| Summary |
"Woman from Another Planet" by Frank Belknap Long is a science fiction novel written in the early 1960s. The story revolves around an artist named David Loring and his fiancée Janice, whose lives become entangled with extraterrestrial beings from Mars. The plot explores themes of love, jealousy, and the unknown as it delves into human emotions and the implications of an impending alien invasion. At the start of the novel, David Loring is depicted in a disoriented state after an unsettling encounter with Janice, who has returned home shaken after encountering a mysterious man in her apartment earlier that morning. As Janice describes her experience, which leaves her feeling violated despite the stranger's assurances of innocence, David grapples with feelings of confusion and jealousy, fearing that Janice's emotional turmoil may hold deeper implications. The opening effectively sets a tense atmosphere and hints at a conspiracy that may involve alien forces watching them, as the narrative suggestively introduces the idea that these Martian entities have an ulterior motive for their earthly visit. In weaving these elements together, the book prepares readers for a complex interplay between human relationships and extraterrestrial intrigue. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
