About This Book

Two college fraternity members, panicked over failing mathematics, find a crashed flying disc and its pilot, a rabbitlike Venusian scholar who immediately recognizes their calculus errors. They seize and hide him and his craft, then coerce the alien into tutoring their fraternity to rescue their grades. The alien methodically diagnoses and corrects their mistakes while the students juggle schemes to keep him captive and capitalize on his expertise. The story blends campus slapstick with a light science-fiction premise, exploring opportunism, academic desperation, and the comic fallout of forcing knowledge into service.
