Illegal Aliens is a science fiction comedy novel written by Nick Pollotta and Phil Foglio.
The crew of the starship, All That Glitters, land on Earth to teasing its primitive natives, but the alien tricksters encounter a ruthless New York City street gang, the Bloody Deckers.
[1] A perfectly spherical white spaceship lands in Central Park to great global excitement, from which Leader Idow, an alien covered in blue fur, claims that his crew represent a Type III civilization that will test Earth's worthiness to be a member planet of their federation.
The human race, through Trell's assistance, has duplicated many of the Mikon #4's technologies, including molecular softening beams, advanced camouflage, horizontal/vertical elevators, and hyperdrive, with the intent to break the Gees' quarantine.
[citation needed] The book was illegally translated into Russian in 1993 and released by the Soviet Union; the authors were never paid.
