Z boxera Ricka Bellamyho vysála jakási osoba v oblečení pohřebáka veškerý život. A to rozezlí Sontarana Straxe.

Ignorance is not bliss. It is the alien invader's greatest advantage. Tales of unearthly beings have long circulated among us, from legends of intelligent life on Earth before Homo Sapiens to conspiracy theories about what really happened at the Battle of Canary Wharf. But the truth is that alien life exists - and here, at last, is proof. Based on exclusive access to classified government files, The Secret Lives of Monsters collects evidence that has been suppressed for centuries - notes from clandestine meetings, reports of eyewitness accounts, never-before-seen images and documents, secrets provided by a mysterious agent known only as 'the Doctor', and more. It reveals all we know about aliens who are already here, and provides essential information to survive future invasions. So don't panic. You are not weaponless. The Secret Lives of Monsters will give you the greatest weapon of all: knowledge.
