Introduction In front if them now was a small alien. And it had a human head in its hands. Kay smiled. 'It's Mikey' he said. 'OK, Mikey, give me the head and put up your arms.' Kay and Jay are Men in Black. They have a very important job. They and the other Men in Black have to find and watch all the aliens in the world. But now there is a Bug in New York. 'Bugs kill things - aliens and people,' said Kay. 'And we have a Bug in town ... That's bad.' Can Kay and Jay find the Bug before the Bug finds the Third Galaxy? The Bug wants to use the Third Galaxy to start the fighting between the Baltians and the Arquillians again. That will be very dangerous for everybody. Men in Black is an exciting film, with Tommy Lee Jones as 'Kay', Will Smith as 'Jay' and Linda Fiorentino as the beautiful Dr Laurel Weaver. People went to see the film in more than 44 countries round the world in 1997. The film-makers say: 'Perhaps when you walk out of the cinema after this film, you will look at the world differently.' Perhaps when you finish reading this book, you will look at the world differently, too. Ed Solomon wrote the story for the film Men in Black.
