The Trouble With Humans

Product Description

Humans—there’s no understanding them & no dealing with them either Or even their planet Pity the poor aliens whose shape-changing ability should let them take over the planet Earth before the humans even know they’re there—if it weren’t for all that omnipresent pollution Or consider another set of invaders from a planet where the weather is always mild & the changing of the seasons is hardly noticeable They land in force & their weapons are more powerful than those of the primitive humans—but they’ve never before had to deal with below-zero temperatures flash floods or tornados—not to mention volcanoes Then there were the aliens who noticed how belligerent humans were & gave them the “gift” of TV-like devices which would show anything anywhere on Earth which was sure to lead to war Imagine how surprised the aliens were when the humans took the gadgets apart enhanced them & started spying on everything the aliens were up to all over the galaxy Humans don’t make sense they don’t fight fair & they’re making aliens throughout interstellar space think seriously about pulling up stakes & moving to another galaxy!
