The Girl from Space

Ben Sandmor doesn’t care about anything else except finding his dealer and snorting another line of glorious blow.

When Ben’s dealer doesn’t show up at the usual time and place one night, he tries not to freak out and decides to go looking for him. But what he didn’t plan on finding were aliens landing on the roof of his car trying to kill each other!

This cold, bizarre night leads Ben into an adventure of, quite literally, galactic proportions. The threat of death and unexpected love hijack his life and change him and a group of alien refugees forever – one powerful, scary, beautiful alien in particular.
