Zorbon il Decisore è scomparso e la vita di Luke Parker è tornata alla routine di sempre: scuola, compiti e fumetti. Mentre suo fratello maggiore Zack, alias Star Lad, e la sua migliore amica Lara salvano il mondo con i loro superpoteri, Luke si sente un eroe solo giocando alla Xbox. Tuttavia, Luke ha un talento unico: riconoscere un alieno, anche se camuffato da professoressa di ginnastica. Quando scopre la verità, nessuno gli crede, nemmeno Zack, che non riconoscerebbe un alieno nemmeno se fosse davanti a lui, né Lara, che si sente superiore. Ma gli alieni sono in arrivo, pronti a conquistare la Terra con un piano diabolico che richiederà astuzia e coraggio per essere fermato. Solo l'eroe più pasticcione ha la possibilità di salvare il pianeta. Dopo il grande successo di Mio fratello è un supereroe, questo attesissimo seguito promette un'avventura esilarante tra alieni improbabili e battaglie intergalattiche. “Selvaggiamente divertente!” - Kirkus Reviews. “Un libro esilarante, pieno di battute comiche e colpi di scena! Davvero irresistibile!” - Sunday Times.
