Monte Stewart was an extremely intelligent, somewhat contentious anthropologist with a sense of humor and a nonconformist approach to life. As an expert in his field, he was chosen to approach the first apparently human-like form of life ever to be encountered on another planet. Here was the chance he had been waiting for all his life - an opportunity to make contact, to investigate, to ascertain the facts about an altogether new man-like species, with the added knowledge that the peace of the worlds depended upon the establishment of friendly relations. But Stewart and his team of experts couldn't get to first base. They tried for weeks - then vicious unreasoned tragedy struck their camp. What had gone wrong?Who were these 'people'?Why had they attacked the humans?Stewart had failed in his mission; but for his own peace of mind he had to discover the answers, and he had to do it alone.

This is a first-contact novel in which Earthlings discover beings very much like ourselves on a distant planet - an exciting prospect for all involved, especially the crew of anthropologists and linguists that almost immediately set-out on the eleven-month trip to that planet. The team from Earth is surprised by the reaction of the beings they have intruded upon, but whose fault was that, really? What happens next may just be decided by one man from Earth and one from the newly discovered planet.
"Unearthly Neighbors" is far from the kind of pulp science fiction that was so popular in the fifties. This one holds up very well, in fact, and will give even the casual scifi fan something to think about when it's done. ( )
