Description

Thomas Jerome Newton is an extraterrestrial visitor from the planet Anthea, which has been devastated by nuclear wars. He lands on Earth, disguised as a human, with the intention of saving his own people from extinction. Newton patents advanced Anthean technology, amasses a fortune, and begins to build a spaceship to help the last 300 Antheans migrate to Earth. As Newton's company brings new products to the market, a chemistry professor in Iowa becomes intrigued and suspects Newton of being an alien. Meanwhile, Newton's own sense of purpose and clarity begin to diminish. This novel, which inspired a cult film and a new Paramount+ series, explores themes of life, identity, and the consequences of advanced technology.
