It's the age-old tale of boy meets alien abductor. Boy meets
stun-gun. Boy learns he's the only one who can save the Earth from
Extreme World Makeover by interstellar landlords. Yeah: he thinks
it's a bit much, too. Like everyone else on his planet, Bertram
Ludlow hasn't paid much attention to fluctuations in the
intergalactic real estate market. But as a cognitive psychology
grad student, he has given some thought to what a complete mental
breakdown looks like. And this is pretty close. Now he's
discovering space is a mad and mind-boggling place where
interspecies communication rests on the power of a gumball. Where
androids demand better work/life balance. Where crime is Art,
technology still has its bugs, and lasers don't actually go
"pyew-pyew." It's also surprisingly easy to get on the Universe's
Most Wanted list. So with the weight of the world on his shoulders
and the cosmic law on his tail, can Bertram outrun, outwit and
out-bid to save the Earthling squatters from one spaced-out
redevelopment plan?
