Summary

An alien being arrives on Earth in response to Voyager 2's invitation, taking the form of a young widow's recently deceased husband by cloning his body. With government agents in pursuit, he compels her to drive him across the country to a rendezvous point in Arizona, where his ship will retrieve him before he dies in Earth's atmosphere. Along the way, the two form an unexpected bond.
