Ralph Kennedy suffers from a case of wrong identity; he's just a mister not a doctor. He tries to convince the higher ups about this but no one will listen to him. They say he's just being modest. When he's put in charge of Director of Extraterrestrial Vocational Research, he knows the purpose of him being there is going to be covered up. Ralph doesn't believe any of this Extraterrestrial stuff anyway, that is until he comes face to face with them.
This review thinks this story was excellent. I loved this author's philosophic side. A lot of what he said in this book can apply to everyday life. There is one line in this story that will change the way you look at certain areas of life. I won't say what that line is, you'll have to read the story to find that out. I loved Dr. Kennedy and the way he handled the aliens. Although I think a lot of that handling has to do with his secretary Sara. I loved her character and her snappy replies. There is a reporter in here that makes you want to choke him but he gets what he deserves at the end. I loved the good ole boys' attitude from the extraterrestrials. They were, at times, hilarious but they are not what they seem, and they came for a purpose. I think that if your looking for a great book that is filled with action then this is the story for you. This book is a great read with a lot of intrigue.
