About this title

Synopsis

When the Hakh'hli aliens visit earth with Sandy Washington, the boy they have raised aboard their spaceship, no one is willing to believe their good intentions

Reviews

An alien spaceship lands on Earth for a double purpose: to give the people of Earth the benefit of their advanced technology and to return to them a human rescued in infancy and raised by the kangaroo-like Hakh'hli to be as "human" as possible--under the circumstances. Pohl's unerring gift for satire delivers a splendidly skewed alien-eye-view of human culture while spinning a touching, slightly quirky story of a young man's coming of age. Highly recommended.-- JC
