Produced by Greg Weeks, Mary Meehan and the Online Distributed Proofreading Team at http://www.pgdp.net "The God Next Door" by William R. Doede is a science fiction novel written in the early 1960s. The story explores themes of identity, civilization, and the nature of godhood against a backdrop of an alien planet within a distant solar system. The protagonist, Stinson, embarks on a journey to discover whether this new world could support life, only to encounter complex beings and powers beyond his comprehension. In the narrative, Stinson arrives on a desert-like planet and experiences encounters with strange beings known as web-footed humanoids and a powerful entity referred to as the Sand God. The story unfolds as Stinson grapples with his accidental deification, a woman's insistence that she is his wife, and the moral dilemmas posed by his advanced technology versus the primitive instincts of the beings around him. His journey raises critical questions about the nature of existence, the meaning of life, and the responsibilities that come with power, as he navigates between protecting the web-footed people from the Gel God’s wrath and asserting his desire for peace and coexistence on this alien world. Ultimately, he must decide whether to remain there or return to Earth, all while understanding the implications of his choices for both himself and the inhabitants of this new planet.
