Eleven-year-old Roswell Johnson is obsessed with space and life beyond our planet. So, when he's accidentally abducted in a spaceship, it feels like his biggest dream has come true - aliens are real!

With the sinister General Xelic and his evil army of Reptoids planning to attack Earth, Roswell must team up with a quirky group of other-worldly beings: a Mantis with a fear of germs, a Cyborg programmed to take everything literally, a telepathic Pleiadean, two bickering Grays, and an overly confident Fungarian.

Can Roswell and his eccentric gang of alien adventurers save Earth from invasion?

Or is life as we know it doomed?
