About this title

Synopsis

A short novel of aliens, science, and extraterrestrial possibilities—served with a punch of humor.

Political unrest. Environmental damage. A world in decline. Earth appears to be headed for another global extinction.

Far off on Planet IXon, supplies of life-sustaining methane are running low. The IXonians commission their giant computerized Ranatron to explore new sources of this vital hydrocarbon. Follow Ranatron’s interplanetary adventures to discover their impact on the Earthlings’ survival.

Will these methane-seeking aliens push Earth over the edge? Or will they help save the inhabitants of a dying planet?
