Starman

by Alan Dean Foster

THE STRANGER He came to observe life on Earth - that's what happens when a peace-loving alien takes the friendly invitations we send into space seriously. But the US Air Force shot down the starman's ship, and now he has to cone the body of a human being to stay alive. Armed with a smattering of earthly lore (how to say hello in 300 languages, the Stones "Satisfaction") collected from Voyager II, as well as his own mind-boggling extraterrestrial powers, he will set out with a beautiful young earth woman (who goes from kidnappee to conspirator) on what will become the greatest adventure of their lives - a dangerous flight across America into the unexplored territory of interplanetary love.
