'Alienology' is a tongue-in-cheek training manual for SPACE (the Society for the Promotion of Alien Contact with Earth). Apparently written in 1969 by alienologist Professor Gray, this SPACE cadet's guide gives advice on identifying alien species, and eye-opening facts about our universe. As the book progresses, readers learn that the professor is actually an alien. He has been sent to Earth to learn what makes humans resistant to a deadly slime spreading throughout the galaxy, in order to save other alien species. He must also choose ambassadors for the Intergalactic Council, and the book includes logic tests to determine who will be chosen.
