Dunnard's Pearl: What to Do with the World when You Can't Get Off. Mike Williamson 1. izdevums

People are remarkably adaptable. If you ruin them slowly enough they barely notice!

Aliens run amuck in Mike Williamson?s wildly entertaining debut, Dunnard?s Pearl.

James Justice awakens from an accident at his London school to find himself in a strange new world. The alien inhabitants explain to James that their world, a vast space station, is falling to ruin but that the ruling Administrators refuse to help.

As the aliens beg James to help them, he stumbles upon two more earthlings who have also somehow been transported to this world.

Together, the three teenagers set off on an adventure of a lifetime as they attempt to settle into life on the alien planet while desperately seeking out ways to return home.

As they bunk with an alien couple, are recruited for a reality television show, and learn the stunning secret that the Administrators are determined to hide, James and his allies face a final, violent showdown with the Grand Administrator. But even throughout the final battle, the question remains: Will the group ever find a way to return to Earth?
