Shlem, an extraterrestrial out-of-step with his home planet’s sophisticated society, lives outside their Dome Community… in the old fashioned way.
But time and tide (and civic obligation), wait for no man (nor Alien) – Shlem has neglected his Community Dues. As retribution, he must visit Blue Satellite 42 (Earth), of the Federation’s newly awarded, 'Intelligent Life' status. He is to acquire land for an Embassy to house Inna-Galinian’s first, Ambassador to Earth. Via a comedy of errors we accompany Shlem as he meanders South London’s sleazy back-street community of gangsters, drug dealers, insider-traders, bent coppers, and crooked boxing promoters, unwittingly entangling himself in extortion, fight-fixing, blackmail, ultra-violence, and ultimately murder! But throughout all, true love prevails, with a romance that is truly… out-of-this-world!
