All right. Hi, this is William Ramsey. Welcome to William Ramsey investigates on tonight show of a returning guest.

A special guest. We've done a lot of shows. Our last show was about Forrest Ackerman. He was the publisher of many science fiction novels or books for decades. And we're very well known in Hollywood. He's also a Hollywood memorabilia collector. but our Forrest Ackerman interview is on my speaker

channel, if you get a chance to go check that out.

But we're going to kind of stay in that same territory and cover book that I was interested

and never read until now.

But the title of the book is Stranger in a Strange Land.

It was published in 1961 by Robert Heinlein. He's considered one of the top three science fiction writers of all

time in the same field or group with Asimov and Arthur C. Clark. And it was a fascinating

book. And one of the reasons I wanted to read it was also because the name of the main character is Valentine Michael Smith.

And that was also the name of one of Charles Manson's children was Valentine Michael Manson.

That was a son he had with Bruner.

I think she was one of the first members of the Manson family or the Manson group. So it was always of interest about this book. And I had a very topical understanding.

I'm a much deeper understanding now. And I understand kind of Heinlein's sensibilities.

And so both I and Valibus have read that book together. So he has a bunch of comments. I do as well.

So Valibus, are you there?

William Ramsey,

thanks for having me back again for another discussion here today.

Look forward to the topic of conversation.

As you mentioned, it is a very logical kind of subsequent conversation,

conclusion, you know, extension of our last conversation

regarding for Ackerman and his, you know,

science, he's his group of science fiction.
