In less than five years, Kitty Katt-Martini has come a long way
from being an Arizona marketing manager, but nothing compared to her husband
Jeff the alien from Alpha Four in the Alpha Centauri system and now Vice
President of the United States. However,
you may take the girl out of Arizona, but not Arizona out of the girl; as Kitty
cannot hide her boredom with many of the Second Lady social functions such as
her ennui while attending a cricket match in Australia. Insulting the host country and causing havoc
for the Secret Service, Kitty decides to leave; but ungracefully falls and
bangs her head.
When she regains consciousness, a confused Kitty finds she is the solo
alien and married with children to her “handler” Chuckie Reynolds; and that the
Alpha Centauri entourage including Jeff Martini never came to earth. At the same time another Kitty resides amidst
aliens. In both worlds, each Kitty must
confront the Mastermind if she is to return home to her Jeff on her earth.
The tenth Alien science fiction
(see Alien In The House and Alien Research) is a madcap what if thriller in
which the heroine gets a double taste of what could have been (think of George
Bailey in It's a
Wonderful Life). As always frantically-paced
and jocular, Universal Alien is a lively over
the top of Mount
Kosciuszko entry.
