A long time ago in a galaxy far away, the chances are that nothing happened and if it did, we are never likely to know. This book goes through every fallacious belief we have ever held about the possibilities of faster-than-light travel, transporter beams, wormholes, flying saucers and close encounters. It systematically builds them up and takes them apart.I will no longer 'watch the skies' for ET or hope for a close but benign encounter.

Born 1952 in Edinburgh, Scotland, Roderick obtained a BSC in chemistry and then proceeded to become a teacher for several years until disability forced his early retirement in 1982. A lifelong interest in astronomy was combined with writing and he produced many short stories, articles and works of radio drama. Finding difficulty in typing by hand, he turned to voice-controlled software with great success and was able to continue writing.
Alien Psychology is a culmination of his thoughts developed over the last few years on extraterrestrial life, astronomy, politics and unidentified flying objects. Other recent work includes reviews and articles on science fiction, astronomy, Shakespeare, horse racing and cricket. He now lives in a town ten miles west of Edinburgh with Tiddles, the cat. Managing his own system of careers, he has an active and outgoing life. His hope is that when they land, George W. and Tony will enlist his help as a special advisor.
