Book Description
In the year 2056, the Earth is completely destroyed by a hoard of giant planet-eating squid from parts unknown. Have you ever thought what could happen if you took LSD, and by coincidence, you were abducted by extraterrestrials? Once specimens, such as humans, are collected for scientific research, subjects are thoroughly processed prior to being placed into storage for the return to the alien planet. As part of the process, a mind link is established between the specimen and alien processors. All memories of the subject is processed from the specimen's brain, where visualizations are watched and recorded by aliens for future study. Due to two of the five hippie specimens being under the influence of LSD, two alien processors also become under the influence. One of which destroys all his comrades upon the research spacecraft. One of the humans wakes to find he and the others have been abducted. Once awakened and with the assistance of an imprisoned giant aquatic creature, the humans help the last alien. The six come together, traveling forward in time to rescue the Earth from total destruction, ultimately, saving two planets.
