Eager excitement launched Mark Hemmings from his apartment one balmy Florida night, to foolishly gawk up at that thing in the sky. Zap! Mark was kidnapped by space aliens! Accidentally stealing their spaceship, Mark plunges back to Earth only to land ("all right, crashed then") smack into the clutches of the warring General Peerless and Dr. Montgomery. Being the only person who can --sort of-- fly the spacecraft, Mark must flee but 'the boys from Little Island' are in relentless pursuit. A humorous novel of chase and determination, and above all else, refusing to forget who you are, despite the craftiest of temptations.
