Summary: Transforming himself to look like a human, a frail and exotic being from another world uses his superior intellect to become a wealthy and powerful head of a large corporate conglomorate. His true mission on earth, however, is to find water for his distant, drought-plagued planet. Ultimately, he is overcome by earth’s modern technology, the American capitalist system, and by an earth woman whom he has fallen in love with.
