| | BookLoons Reviews - Slan by A. E. Van Vogt |
 | | Slan is an SF classic, on an 'aliens among us' theme, except that Slans are not aliens but evolved superhumans, 'whose intelligence is two to three hundred per cent higher than that of a normal human being'. |
 | | Kathleen Layton, on the other hand, is an eleven-year-old slan, raised in an experimental program as a 'study subject' under the aegis of the planet's dictator Kier Gray. |
 | | He also has several hostile encounters with tendrilless slans, who share with humans a ferocious hatred of true slans, and have explored the solar system (without human knowledge). |
