And everyone wants to go there.Psychiatrist Gene Brewer doesn't have a diagnosis for the mysterious new patient who calls himself "prot" (rhymes with goat).But this strange and likeable man cannot be-as he claims-from the planet K-PAX.Or can he?Prot knows facts about space that are confounding the experts.He is soon revealing Dr. Brewer's own deepest pains and most sublime longings.And his tales of K-PAX have other patients competing to go along with him when he heads "home."Now the doctor is racing the clock to find prot's true identity before he loses a man whose "madness" might just save them all....Published in a dozen countries with movie rights sold to the producer of Field of Dreams, K-PAX has touched the hearts and expanded the horizons of readers around the world.It promises to join Robert Heinlein's classic Stranger in a Strange Land as a moving, thought-provoking masterpiece of modern-day fiction.AUTHORBIO: Gene Brewer was born and raised in Muncie, Indiana, and educated at DePauw University and the University of Wisconsin, Madison.Before becoming a novelist, he studied DNA replication and cell division at several major research institutions.Dr. Brewer lives in New York City with his wife and Dalmatian. 992756 1995 K-Pax total:267|5:74|4:104|3:61|2:22|1:5| 267 1020 366 36 239546 074756695X 9780747566953 201 26 3.82 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1173029533m/239546.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/239546.K_Pax 5 1 false Fri May 30 13:12:57 -0700 2008 Sun Jun 15 14:06:42 -0700 2008 more...]]> 207471 0747557527 9780747557524 5 1 3.82 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1172687348m/207471.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/207471.K_Pax 5 0 false Fri May 01 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Mon Jul 20 01:09:50 -0700 2009 Sun Aug 16 14:09:13 -0700 2009 Prot claims that he is from the planet K-PAX, a utopia where there is no such thing as murder or crime, government does not exist, everyone lives in harmony and the beings all have the ability of light travel.
