The Lovereading comment:

An unusual yet pleasurable alien romp that takes place in France, Africa and New York and finally a planet in outer space named Priam. The story involves a boy named Dez and his extraterrestrial friend Yakob. Dez is caught up in a war of the world situation that takes him to the stars and back to defeat evil.

Synopsis

Dez is on an ordinary family holiday in France, driving through the countryside with his mum and dad.  The holiday is brought to a horrific end when the car they are driving crashes.  Miraculously Dez is thrown clear and is unhurt.  But his parents are killed outright. As he lies by the roadside a strange man arrives and takes Dez away. This is Yakob – an alien in disguise as a human!
