War has devastated planet Earth. Only a few pockets of humans survive, and even then, it’s a meagre existence where famine and disease are common and surviving each day paramount. All hope for humanity is dwindling. The Earth is dying.
Unexpectedly, a strange alien race, giant blue furred beings known as the Teathans, offer assistance in a way no human could have ever contemplated. Humans are to be cared for like cherished toys, as it is the Teathan’s goal in life to look out for others.
Greg Scott is one of the first chosen. He’s provided food, shelter and affection from his alien owner. Everything he has ever needed is his every whim. He has found paradise on Teathan and humanity has a new hope.
Everything is perfect until Greg’s owner is visited by his friend and a love that shouldn’t exist between the aliens is revealed. Will Greg’s utopia be shattered once the truth gets out? Will he be forced to return to Earth? Or will something unexpected happen? Will Greg come up with a solution, both unorthodox and oh so very human, to solve the aliens’ dilemma?

War has devastated planet Earth. Only a few pockets of humans survive, and even then, it’s a meagre existence where famine and disease are common and surviving each day paramount. All hope for humanity is dwindling. The Earth is dying.
Unexpectedly, a strange alien race, giant blue-furred beings known as the Teathans, offer assistance in a way no human could have ever contemplated. Humans are to be cared for like cherished toys, as it is the Teathan’s goal in life to look out for others.
Greg Scott is one of the first chosen. He’s provided food, shelter and affection from his alien owner. Everything he has ever needed is his every whim. He has found paradise on Teathan and humanity has a new hope.
Everything is perfect until Greg’s owner is visited by his friend and a love that shouldn’t exist between the aliens is revealed. Will Greg’s utopia be shattered once the truth gets out? Will he be forced to return to Earth? Or will something unexpected happen? Will Greg come up with a solution, both unorthodox and oh so very human, to solve the aliens’ dilemma?
