When an Alien Discovers What Makes Us Human
Imagine waking up naked on a British highway with no idea how human bodies work, disgusted by the strange appendages and bizarre customs of these creatures called "humans." This is precisely how our story begins-with an alien sent to Earth to assume the identity of Cambridge mathematician Professor Andrew Martin, who has just solved the Riemann hypothesis, a breakthrough that could advance human technology too quickly. The alien's mission? Eliminate all evidence of this discovery and anyone who knows about it, including Andrew's wife Isobel, teenage son Gulliver, and colleague Daniel Russell. The alien's species believes humans are dangerous, violent creatures who would destroy the universe if given advanced mathematical knowledge. But what begins as a mission of destruction becomes an unexpected journey into the heart of what makes us human.
