Sequel to the award-winning Memoirs of a Dangerous Alien, this continues much of the fun. The Aliens are still at it and Mr Batworthy, the computer teacher, has to be found. He has the key to the central computer's plan to destroy the earth - will dominic and the rest of the Black Star Gang win through? It's a nice mix of the everyday and the sci-fi fantastic - bursting out through the roof tiles in a space ship - with a good dose of humour especially when Dominic's practical Aunt and Granny (from Yorkshire) are brainwashed into passive subservience.
