Synopsis: Dave Ladd, has-been musician, didn't mind being abducted by aliens. Especially when those aliens had plenty of cash to compensate him. Let them keep whatever secret they seemed to have learned about Earth. So he thought when he was returned to his home in rural Alabama. But he was already too involved in that secret — a secret that involved the survival of humanity — and soon was on the run with an alien girlfriend, first on Earth and then 'out there.' A solution must be found by the motley band of humans and aliens thrown together in ALIENESE.
