The Joint of No Return
Descrição da editora
"Star Trek meets Cheech & Chong!" – #1 INTERGALACTIC BESTSELLING author Tom Sadira invites you to take a trip to the farthest reaches of outer space in this hilarious sci-fi adventure saga.
Charlie Hong is on the run from both sides of the law.
He’s spent the last year in hiding, cultivating one last hare-brained scheme to escape his troubles: a clandestine marijuana operation. Just as he’s about to cash in, his cash crop is stolen by a bright light appearing in the night sky. After catching a ride with one of his plants, he finds himself swept up in a cosmic struggle to free Earth from the clutches of secret alien overlords.
Does the stoned stowaway have what it takes to free the Starseed—a massive living spaceship overflowing with bizarre life forms—from a mysterious force field trapping it in Earth’s orbit?
More importantly, before he decides anything, does he have time to light one up?
