Miss MeteoriteQueen SkiddlebupMr. MiggsOzzie BarbutiHalf-Nelson McGurkBetty Barton

When a bitter Mercurian inventor named Mr. Miggs discovers Earth through his new tele-receptor device, he's struck by the planet's apparent similarities to his own world—and plots to destroy it as his grim assignment from his domineering leader, Queen Skiddlebup. After arriving on Earth and narrowly escaping a women's convention, Miggs must navigate a dangerous new world while carrying the means of total destruction, even as trouble brews at the Barton Giant Traveling Carnival back on solid ground. Can this resentful visitor complete his mission, or will Earth's inhabitants—and the carnival's determined defender Betty Barton—throw a wrench in his plans?

Caught between scientific skepticism and undeniable evidence, Farrow must grapple with the weight of Crito's extraordinary secret and the weariness that comes with an immortality spanning empires and centuries.
