How to Buy a Planet (The Cleremont Conjectures Book 1)

The date: Very, very soon.

Beset by multiple crises and buried under a growing mountain of debt, the leaders of the G7 have taken the only logical decision.

They’ve sold the planet.

When Toby, a penniless student, and his two new flatmates find out one morning on TV, they're surprised to find the Earth’s new alien owners are staggeringly cute and bring the promise of a debt-free future. They're just getting ready to celebrate along with the rest of the world, when a chance encounter with a mysterious professor reveals the truth. And there’s a glitch: the Earth is about to be destroyed.
