And you thought your layover was bad . . . Five billion light years from home. Stuck on a spaceport that engulfs half of a small planet. With a seven year layover and a two million cred chartering fee, Ao, a lone Grey alien, takes his gun in hand and makes his money the only way he knows how: killing stuff. This is our hero. This is the world of ALIEN FOR HIRE; an illustrated, science-fiction, comedy, novella set in a unique and bizzare universe in the vein of "Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy" and "Discworld." All illustrations were created by the author.
