Description

A man claiming to be from outer space arrives at a mental ward in Manhattan, sparking curiosity among the staff. He calls himself 'prot' and describes his home planet K-PAX as a utopia without conflict or inequality. With a mysterious departure date set for August 17th, 'prot's story keeps readers engaged until the end. As Dr. Gene Brewer tries to understand 'prot', he is drawn into a world of intrigue and deception. The patient's claims are unlike anything the psychiatrist has encountered before, leaving him questioning what is real and what is not. The tension builds as 'prot' prepares to leave on his promised beam of light, taking with him secrets that could change everything.
