Description:
Sandy Washington was a pretty normal guy. He was a good friend, sensitive & caring. He respected his elders & obeyed his teachers. He loved basketball, old movies & writing poetry. And he worshipped the photogrpah of his long-dead mother. The only difference between Sandy & any other young man his age was that Sandy had been raised by aliens on their spaceship.
The Hakh'hli had done everything they could to give Sandy an Earth-type boyhood. They had even altered some of their own young people to be a bit more humanoid to make for better playmates for the young man.
Now, finally, the Hakh'hli were bringing Sandy home to Earth. And while they were at it, they intended to give humanity some extraordinary gifts that would improve the quality of life on Earth & perhaps even get human space travel off the ground.
The Hakh'hli seemed to have Sandy's & humanity's best interests at heart. But the people of Earth were not so sure.
