A revealing exploration of The Man Who Fell To Earth, Nicolas Roeg´s classic 1976 film starring David Bowie as an alien who comes to our planet in search of water.

It also seeks to uncover the mysteries surrounding Bowie´s rejected soundtrack to the film (elements of which later ended up his groundbreaking 1977 album Low) and closes with a look at his return to the themes and characters of The Man Who Fell To Earth in one of his final works, the acclaimed musical production Lazarus.

- The first book-length exploration of a landmark of otherworldly big-screen science fiction, and a key work by Nicolas Roeg, one of the greatest British film directors of all time.

- Offers a thorough examination of David Bowie´s first (and best) leading role as Thomas Jerome Newton, and explores the legend of his rejected soundtrack to the film.

- Bowie´s final project was the musical Lazarus, a continuation of the story and themes of the film, which is due to transfer to London in 2017 following a successful Off-Broadway run.
