Sentenced to Prism (1985) is a science fiction novel written by Alan Dean Foster.

The planet Prism is unique in the Humanx Commonwealth because its entire ecosystem is silicon instead of carbon-based. Evan Orgell finds himself trapped on this planet not only because he has been cut off from human contact and escape via space ship, but because he is physically and mentally trapped within the specialized spacesuit designed to keep him safe from the dangerous weather on his native planet. He must overcome his physical and mental shortcoming in order to secure his own rescue.
