Devastated by nuclear war, his home planet, Anthea, is no longer habitable. Newton lands in Kentucky and starts patenting Anthean technologyamassing the fortune he needs to build a spaceship that will bring the last three hundred Anthean survivors to Earth. But instead of the help he seeks, he finds only self-destruction, sinking into alcoholism and abandoning his spaceship, in this poignant story about the human conditionwhich has inspired both a film starring David Bowie and the new series starring Chiwetel Ejioforby the acclaimed author ofMockingbird. ';Beautiful science fiction... The story of an extraterrestrial visitor from another planet is designed mainly to say something about life on this one.' The New York Times ';An utterly realistic novel about an alien human on Earth... Realistic enough to become a metaphor for something inside us all, some existential loneliness.' Norman Spinrad, author ofThe Iron Dream ';Those who knowThe Man Who Fell to Earthonly from the film version are missing something. This is one of the finest science fiction novels of its period.' J.R. Dunn, author ofThis Side of Judgment
