This is among the worst Piers Anthony novels I've read. His usually troubling sex scenes are here, plus a lot of non-pun humor, which is not something he's good at.

A telepathic child worm crash lands on Earth and we become involved in Galactic affairs. Rating R2.1 worth rereading Sesame rating scale.
