THE MAN WHO FELL TO EARTH - WALTER TEVIS TASCHE...

Thomas Jerome Newton is an extraterrestrial from the planet Anthea  which has been devastated
by a series of nuclear wars  and whose inhabitants are twice as intelligent as human beings.  
When he lands on Earth - in Kentucky  disguised as a human - it's with the intention of saving
his own people from extinction. Newton patents some very advanced Anthean technology  which he
uses to amass a fortune. He begins to build a spaceship to help the last 300 Antheans migrate
to Earth.   Meanwhile  Nathan Bryce  a chemistry professor in Iowa  is intrigued by some of the
new products Newton's company brings to the market  and already suspects Newton of being an
alien.  As Bryce and the FBI close in  Newton finds his own clarity and sense of purpose
diminishing.    Inspiring adaptations starring David Bowie and Chiwetel Ejiofor  The Man Who
Fell To Earth brought Walter Tevis wide recognition and critical acclaim. It was nominated for
the Hugo award  and the 1976 film was nominated for the Nebula  Saturn and Hugo awards.  
'Beautiful science fiction' - New York Times  'This is one of the finest science fiction novels
of its period' - J.R. Dunn 'Tevis writes . . . with power and poetry and tension' - Washington
