Publisher's Synopsis
A tale of adventure, friendship, space, time, ingenuity, the possible end of the world, and an 8-foot greenish alien. Oh, and Elvis, of course. 14-year-old schoolboy Midge Fly of London, U.K., accidentally finds himself in possession of a UPS (Universal Positioning System) unit which enables its holder to travel across time, space, and dimensions. The UPS, also a highly advanced hand-held computer, informs Midge that he is the only one who can save Earth from imminent destruction, and reluctantly Midge sets off along with his best friend, Stick. The tale follows Midge and Stick as the UPS takes them through space and dimensions in a race against time and a struggle against a host of obstacles and opponents. The final showdown takes place on a planet near the edge of the universe where Midge and Stick are faces wih the task of saving the world by means of only perseverance, common sense, and a pocket flash light. Will they succeed, or will the world as we know it, come to an untimely (and untidy) end?
