Predtým, ako sa stal románopiscom, sa Gene R. Brewer venoval štúdiu replikácie DNA a bunkového delenia. Jeho literárne dielo často skúma zložité otázky ľudskej mysle a reality, pričom sa vyznačuje hlbokým vhľadom do psychológie postáv. Brewerov štýl je známy svojou schopnosťou prepojiť vedecké poznatky s hlboko ľudskými témami a vytvárať tak diela, ktoré čitateľov nútia k zamysleniu. Jeho písanie je odrazom jeho fascinácie vesmírom, etikou a komplexnosťou ľudskej existencie.
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.

"In this final book of the K-PAX series, Dr. Gene Brewer is approached by visitors from the planet Bullock, who demand that he deliver an ultimatum to the United Nations: Homo sapiens must end the killing of other humans as well as all other animal species living on Earth. Failure to meet this demand will result in the immediate extinction of the human race. Dr. B is amazed to discover that U.S. Government officials, including the President, have been expecting such visitors (who, though not corporeal, behave like a colony of ants), and are fully prepared to acquiesce to these demands. The problem is that the rest of the world must be convinced that the Bullocks are capable of, and willing to, eliminate human beings from the face of the Earth. Sometimes funny, always sympathetic, Dr. Brewer has a number of encounters with the Bullocks, in which he experiences undreamed of travels around the galaxy, and to his own past and beyond. For their part, the aliens willingly demonstrate their ability to remove Homo sapiens from this world. Will the clues found on the mysterious cone-shaped device be deciphered in time to save mankind from extinction? The surprise ending will captivate and reward K-PAX fans everywhere."
