Publisher's summary

A mind-blowing cosmic adventure from the #1 New York Times-bestselling author of the Adventures of Pip & Flinx.

It's just another boring late night in Albuquerque, New Mexico, for Seeth, a disillusioned punk rocker with too much time on his hands and too little money. That is, until he heads to a bowling alley and runs into Kerwin, a geeky graduate student who's there doing research for a sociology assignment. While trying to distract Kerwin from his scholarly pursuits, Seeth notices two burly cops trying to unlawfully arrest a lone bowler, and for laughs, he jumps in to save him.

When it turns out the bowler, the cops, and even the bowling ball are all different races of aliens involved in an interstellar chase, Seeth and Kerwin find themselves on a ship careening through space—protecting a mysterious, all-powerful lifeform that might possibly be the most valuable thing in the universe.

Seeth's found the excitement he wanted. And he didn't even have to leave Albuquerque—just Earth.

Fun 80's Sci-Fi Romp

A punk rocker, a nerd, and beautiful, but seemingly vapid girl stumble into intergalactic intrigue.

A boring night in Albuquerque turns very interesting when Seeth (the punk rocker) sees what he thinks are two cops harassing a lone man at the bowling alley. What follows lands our group far from earth, befriended and chased by aliens, and it turns out the bowling ball is the most alien alien of them all...

Overall the narrator does a great job. His valley-girl voice is a bit annoying, but other than that it's solid performance.
