Escape from Planet Earth

On the planet Baab, admired astronaut Scorch Supernova is a national hero to the blue alien population. A master of daring rescues, Scorch pulls of astonishing feats with the quiet aid of his nerdy, by-the-rules brother, Gary, head of Mission Control at BASA. When BASA's no-nonsense chief, Lena, informs the brothers of an SOS from a notoriously dangerous planet, Scorch rejects Gary's warnings and bounds off for yet another exciting mission. But, when Scorch finds himself caught in a fiendish trap set by the evil Shanker, it's up to scrawny, risk-averse Gary to do the real rescuing.

As the interplanetary stakes rise to new heights, Gary is left to save his brother, his planet, his beloved wife, Kira, and their adventure-hungry son, Kip.
