    When a man who claims to be from outer space is brought into the Manhattan Institute, the mental ward seems to be just the place for him. However this patient is unlike anyone psychiatrist Dr. Gene Brewer has had under his care before. Calling himself 'prot', he has no traceable background but says that he is an inhabitant of the planet K-PAX, a perfect world without wars, government or religion, and where every being coexists in harmony. Setting a departure date - August 17th at 3.31am - on which he plans to return home on a beam of light, 'prot' keeps us guessing right up until the end.

    Prot je zpět… a tentokrát naposledy. Tvrdí, že přiletěl z planety K-PAX, kde žijí všechny bytosti v harmonii – nezabíjí se pro potravu, neválčí, nevedou spory. A teď se ocitl na Zemi a má o ní podat zprávu. Už tady několikrát byl – a v příbězích Svět podle prota a Na světelném paprsku dokázal mnoha lidem navždy změnit jejich životy. Sice ho zavřeli do Manhattanského psychiatrického ústavu, ale to ho nezastaví. Když je tu však prot, pacient Robert upadá znovu do katatonie. A doktor Brewer, Robertův a protův psychiatr, má opět omezený čas na to, aby odhalil protova tajemství a vrátil Roberta zpět do života. To ale bude muset prot odletět – a s ním vybraná stovka lidských bytostí, která chce žít na dokonalé planetě K-Pax. Protovy světy uzavírají příběh o nevšedním bláznu v našem dosti krvelačném světě. Na konci knihy se čtenář dočká i protovy svérázné, ironické a upřímné zprávy o Zemi.
