Des Kinvig leads a mundane life. Running a back-street electrical repair shop in Bingleton, married to the suffocating Netta and sharing his home with a giant dog named Cuddley, this is one man in urgent need of excitement. It arrives in the form of shapely alien Miss Griffin, who persuades Des to join her on trips to Mercury.
There, they and the 500 year old Buddo team up against an ant-like race called the Xux, who aim to take over Earth by giving humans the power to bend cutlery and by flooding the planet with humanoid robots. But has all this been a figment of Des's imagination, sparked off by UFO discussions with his anoraky friend Jim Piper?
