Overview

"Ex-Army paratrooper Griffin ""Fin"" Brooks thought he left danger behind when his battlefield injuries forced him to pursue a new career in marine biology. But one fateful night off the coast of South Africa, a ship nearly crashes into him and his loyal golden retriever, Jacques. Not just any ship. A starship. Though its alien pilot is dead, the rare extraterrestrial animal inside is not. Fin learns the creature is being smuggled across the galaxy when a pair of interstellar visitors respond to the crash. But those same investigators accuse Fin and his dog of crimes he didn't even know existed. The only way to clear his name is to take the strange creature to its home planet and find out who's responsible for killing the starship's pilot. And that means Fin quickly needs to learn how to fly a spacecraft and navigate a galaxy teeming with intelligent life beyond his wildest dreams. And he's not the only one with designs for the crashed starship and it's cargo. Fin will need every skill he's honed as a paratrooper and a marine biologist if he--and his dog--are to survive. Don't miss the next rollicking sci-fi adventure from Anthony J. Melchiorri. It's perfect for fans of JN Chaney, MR Forbes, and Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy."

Author Information

Anthony J. Melchiorri grew up in a central Illinois town called Normal. Since then he has done his best to venture beyond the normal. He has eaten tarantulas in Cambodia, rode horses with gauchos in the Andes Mountains, explored abandoned KGB prisons in Estonia, and meditated in ancient temples with Buddhist monks in Japan and Thailand. Many of Anthony's books are inspired by a mixture of his travels and his background as a research scientist. While he earned a BA in English at the University of Iowa, he also completed a BSE in Biomedical Engineering. His career led him to the University of Maryland. There he graduated with a PhD in Bioengineering before running a research laboratory that specializes in 3D printing artificial organs and tissues. He has developed materials to 3D print blood vessels and cartilage, invented devices to extract bone samples from patients, and created cellular therapies to help heal wounds. Anthony currently calls Houston, Texas home with his wife and an untamable, growing collection of books. Paul Heitsch is an audiobook narrator, a pianist, a composer, a sound designer, a producer, and a teacher. As a member of The Second City National Touring Company, he has performed with Chris Farley, Steve Carrell, Jane Lynch, and many others. Prior to becoming a narrator, he worked to produce hundreds of spoken-word products for companies like LeapFrog, VTech Kids, and Rosetta Stone.
