The man who fell to Earth - Walter S. Tevis

The remarkable novel upon which the stunning cult film was based.

'Beautiful ... The story of an
extraterrestrial visitor from another planet is designed mainly to say
something about life on this one' NEW YORK TIMES

Thomas Jerome Newton is an extraterrestrial from the planet Anthea,
which has been devastated by a series of nuclear wars, and whose
inhabitants are twice as intelligent as human beings. When he lands on
Earth - in Kentucky, disguised as a human - it's with the intention of
saving his own people from extinction. Newton patents some very advanced
Anthean technology, which he uses to amass a fortune. He begins to
build a spaceship to help the last 300 Antheans migrate to Earth.
Meanwhile, Nathan Bryce, a chemistry professor in Iowa, is intrigued by
some of the new products Newton's company brings to the market, and
already suspects Newton of being an alien. As Bryce and the FBI close
in, Newton finds his own clarity and sense of purpose diminishing.
