The Universal Good Deal book cover, featuring cartoon flying saucers and bold red lettering against a blue sky

A sale of cosmic proportions

Alien white people from outer-space invade Earth armed with amazing deals and low, low prices.

They’re selling lava lamps, fanny packs, water beds, and more and everyone’s buying it. Wouldn’t you? It’s from outer-space! Made by Aliens! And everything’s on sale. It’s a steal.

But the Aliens only take cash.

It’s up to a marketing genius, a bosomy politician, and a genuinely nice guy to figure out what the Aliens really want before we all become the product.

Can humanity survive the most effective advertising campaign ever created or will the Aliens make a real killing?
