Sam Watson is your average, everyday guy. He's kind of a nerd, is about to become a video game store manager, and isn't all that outgoing. That is until one day when he discovers a strange, metallic object in the river. ¿Little does he know that the tennis ball-sized sphere is not of this Earth. He doesn't figure that out until an alien woman comes for him and the sphere so that she can deliver it safely back to its planet of origin. ¿Once Sam comes to terms with everything that's going on, he winds up going on an epic adventure through another galaxy, where he visits other planets and meets many different alien species. In the process, he also uncovers a secret alien plot that's been kept under wraps for thousands of years. Plus, he finally winds up coming out of his shell. ¿Will Sam survive the encounter? Will he make it back home alive? Does he fall madly in love with the alien woman? Of course, in order to get your own answers, you must take the journey yourself.
