About This Book

A human activist and his telepathic Martian companion confront entrenched anti-Martian prejudice by seizing a local broadcast outlet to expose Martian minds and rituals, arguing that telepathic beings practice a reciprocal Golden Rule. The broadcast and on-the-ground reporting reveal grim living conditions for captive Martians, provoke hostile town reactions, and mobilize both sympathy and fury among residents and corporate interests. The narrative alternates public persuasion, reportage, and direct confrontation as the pair face threats, propaganda, and legal obstacles while attempting to change public perception and secure humane treatment for the Martians.
