(Found... Almost Certainly) Book Search

[tk5286]

I remember a SF book from about 45 years ago--it certainly wasn't a classic, but it was 'cute' and I'd like to see if it's still available. I think its title was "Rogue Planet", but I haven't been able to find a match for this book. It was about an intelligent planet that migrated into the solar system to near earth that "adopted" the protagonist. Any thoughts?

Sorry, tk5286, can't say this rings a bell, but I've moved the thread to the book search area of the forums, where it ought to garner more attention.

Good luck!

Sounds like "Rogue in Space" by Fredric Brown. Google the title and it will come up with a Wikipedia entry that will tell you the plot.

Rogue in Space is a science fiction novel by American writer Fredric Brown, first published in 1957. Brown expanded two earlier novelettes ("Gateway to Darkness", published in Super Science Stories in 1949; and "Gateway to Glory", published in Amazing Stories in 1950) to form the novel.
