Come Take Me

On the website ComeTakeMe.com, everyone shares an ambition: to get taken by aliens. But no one is trying remotely as hard as a starry-eyed optimist named Marshall Shmishkiss to become our world's most eligible abductee. Marshall trains his body. He trains his mind. He tries to prepare for every challenge that might await a lone human on a ship of galactic explorers. And soon he will face a choice. Either make one final Faustian attempt at leaving his planet . . . or get used to down-to-Earth drudgery and the end of his dreams.
