'Rogue in Space' by Fredric Brown is a science fiction novel that follows the personal journey of a bitter man named Crag, who is out of step with society. With the help of an alien entity, he embarks on a voyage of self-discovery and love. The narrative explores themes of self-realization, nostalgia, and change, set in a future world with elements of space travel, sentient planets, and conscious asteroids. The writing style is described as readable but with alternating levels of description, ranging from overdescribing to providing too little detail, creating a somewhat lifeless atmosphere in the story.

From The Publisher:
He had no name, no language, no friends. He had not been born and he could not multiply. He had just 'Happened' - an accidental combination of atoms that could think and learn and do a lot of incredible things. He had floated free in space for billions of years, for all he knew he was the only living thing in the Universe. So when he met three human beings wrangling and bickering in their funny-looking space ship, his whole life changed. Because he suddenly knew that he could make them do anything he wanted.
