This fantasy tale puts forward a possible origin for demonic images and looks at how centuries of superstition can affect human thinking.
Alien Escape sets out to show how appearances can be deceptive—just as in real life.
Influenced by the culture of his time, 12th century English serf Jon Oakeley clings to the belief that the hideous creature that suddenly confronts him one night is a demon. The Devil's messenger, so he believes, turns out to be his means of escape from a life of oppression.
The repulsive being is in fact an alien Keluron who proves to be a helpful character—a genuine guardian angel armed with a lumatron.
But having made his getaway from serfdom, Jon finds himself incarcerated with the alien in a sinister underground domain inhabited by unearthly beings and a giant alchemist.
The search for a way out leads Jon into a clash between good and evil in which he has much more to fear than the alien. Alchemy plays a vital role in the outcome.
Alien Escape also offers a message—that however dark and difficult things appear, the weary traveler on life's road must hold fast to the hope of better times.
