Professor Quanderhorn and his crew are about to have their spacecraft shredded like a savoy cabbage by a massive gravitational wave. Only Martian hostage Guuuurk can save them. But will the self-declared ‘miserable coward and despicable turncoat’ risk his life and even his very sanity by mind-leaping into Quanderhorn's son, Troy, a half-insectoid, touted as ‘a major breakthrough in Artificial Stupidity’. Meanwhile, behind the Post Office in the nearby village, a glowing, throbbing meteorite is exuding a strange influence on the local inhabitants. When Dr Janussen, Guuuurk, Troy and even Quanderhorn himself appear to be possessed by an alien intelligence, Brian is faced with a perilous dilemma.
