The Puppet Masters

by Heinlein, Robert A

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.
