Review Summaries
"Kip Russell was just playing around in his spacesuit like any good teen when all of a sudden he was scooped up into an alien spaceship manned by hideous wormfaces who were plotting to take over the earth. When the ship stopped for gas and burgers on the moon, Kip tried a desperate escape over the moon's surface, only to get caught again. Finally the interstellar police catch up with them, but they put Kip, and humanity, on trial."
