Synopsis
This is a story about an alien who stumbles on planet Earth and gets lost at Manchester Airport. Then there is a twist at the end. It has an optional extra chapter-"The Science Behind the Story". This asks questions like, Could intelligent life forms evolve on planets other than our own? Could they travel through time? Do the discoveries of science mean that there can't possibly be a God? This book can be enjoyed at two levels: as a children's story and as a thoughtful but light-hearted contribution to the debate around science, atheism, and faith. We hope you enjoy them both.

About the Author
Lester Barr and Daniel Newton both live near Manchester Airport in England. Lester is a surgeon and cancer specialist at the University Hospital of South Manchester and Christie Hospital, Manchester. His research interest is breast cancer prevention and cancer genetics. He has a particular interest in the relationship between science, atheism, and faith and hopes that this book will be a thoughtful but light-hearted contribution to that debate. The story is original, but the science, philosophy, and theological thinking contained in the optional extra chapter at the end are influenced by the following scientists, whose works the author would recommend to anyone who wishes to study the issues in more depth: Denis Alexander, John Avise, Sam Berry, Francis Collins, Simon Conway-Morris, Darrell Falk, Keith Fox, Stephen Meyer, and John Polkinghorne. The author's ideas also were influenced by the following theologians: John Haught, Alastair McGrath, and Keith Ward. Royalties from the sale of this book will go to the Genesis Breast Cancer Prevention Appeal.
