An Alien scientist transports himself to earth electronically. His visits to nine receiver sites leave him convinced that Earth suffers from an insolvable problem, but one earthling may be able to help him with a problem on his own planet.

Under his own name, Hal Reames has written historical fiction addressing the U.S.'s persistent national divisions ("The Great Divide"), the growing wealth divide ("To Kill the Other Half"), and religious fundamentalism ("Exile of Doubt").
