To that world, isolated minds are broken fragments in need of healing-and its \"missionary\" impulse may become the greatest danger Earth has ever faced.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWritten during Asimov's formative golden-age period, \u003cem\u003eMisbegotten Missionary\u003c\/em\u003e combines biological speculation, alien psychology, and a cleanly engineered suspense structure. It is a strong example of mid-century science fiction's fascination with first contact, collective intelligence, and the uneasy boundary between salvation and invasion. The story was later widely known as \u003cem\u003eGreen Patches\u003c\/em\u003e, but its original title preserves the ironic edge of Asimov's premise: a creature that may be benevolent by its own lights, yet catastrophic by human ones.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eExplore other exciting Positronic Books devoted to classic science fiction, fantasy, and mystery.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 24\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.06 x 9 x 6 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e March 23, 2016\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43426675589187,"sku":"9781515405634","price":17.08,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/store7994.com\/products\/misbegotten-missionary-a-positronic-book-paperback","provider":"STORE 7994","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
