Evil Portent: a science fiction novella, with a touch of humor

Bert strives to liberate an alien planet, and places ours in peril… On the planet Ewepiter, space invaders nicknamed The Guardians farm the inhabitants for the flesh of their children. To escape, or find help, a small group of Ewepitarians use an age-forgotten technology to open a port through the universe. They stumble onto Earth, at a place called The Stables, on the outskirts of London. Mistaken as a bunch of homeless dwarfs, they’re assigned a house at number three, Flintstone terrace.
