Are you prepared for a close encounter? You might know when your mum's invaded (sorry - tidied) your bedroom, but would you recognise a full-scale alien invasion if it happened? Do you know how to tell a Thaarrgon Battle Cruiser from The Great Four Finned Squid of Splod? Or how to shake hands with a Bubonic Strangler? And would you be any good in a game of Spot the Android? No? Then let Colin the Alien, aided by Chris Riddell, teach you some all important intergalactic survival skills. Packed with novelties and extras, rich in comic detail and full of genuine crossover appeal.
