Furry beach balls from another universe! Super-intelligent! Can bounce twenty feet high, live under water for weeks, change shapes into anything from a small alligator to a centipede to an eyeless four-foot human!

Old codger Billy and his two boys love these playful aliens, but when ‘Louie’ begins to play a game that involves hacking into government and corporate accounts, learning all that NSA knows, and stealing millions from banks to give to others, there’s trouble. The life of Billy, his boys, and his wife Carlita, who becomes the Proteans’ lawyer, begins a roller-coaster ride of fame, fortune, jail, getting killed, resurrected, and a distinguished ranking high on the FBI’s “Most Wanted” List.

When other aliens join Louie in the game, the Government decides it must go to war against all Alien Terrorists. The results are . . . well, that’s why you read the book.
