| Summary | "Unwelcome Tenant" by Roger D. Aycock is a science fiction novel written during the early 1950s. The story explores profound themes of consciousness and identity through the journey of the protagonist, Robert Maynard, who discovers an unsettling truth about human existence and the control exerted by parasitic entities. It raises questions about freedom, individuality, and the potential for humanity's evolution beyond such influences. The narrative follows Maynard as he embarks on a solo journey to Mars, feeling a deep sense of pioneering triumph and newfound freedom when he realizes he has been host to a parasitic intelligence all his life. After this entity abandons him during his approach to Mars, Maynard experiences a profound expansion of consciousness and intelligence. He dreams of liberating humanity from these controlling Tenants, imagining a future where free men could build a new civilization. However, as he descends toward Mars, he is confronted with the chilling realization that these entities may also exist on the red planet, leading to a haunting uncertainty about his newfound freedom and the battle against these unseen forces.
