[Far Out Chronicles 01] • The Joint of No Return

***"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 hair-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 thrown into a world far stranger than anything he could have possibly imagined.

Does the stoned stowaway have what it takes to free the Starseed, a massive living spaceship overflowing with bizarre life forms, from the clutches of a mysterious force field trapping it in Earth’s orbit?

More importantly, before he decides anything, does he have time to light one up?

“★★★★★ The rip-roaring adventure series *Far Out Chronicles* kept the G’wark species distracted long enough for us to complete our weapon and wipe out their homeworld. Thanks Earthling!” — *Commander Zrauvvurbu of the Essari Rebellion *

“★★★★★ …so witty and delightful it made me wish that my processor core was capable of laughter. I have scheduled it to be stored in my memory banks for more nanoseconds than is logical…” — *Qu’tron Krix, Prime Instance of the Cyborg Continuum*

“★★★★★ The hivemind of Pollux Major loved the *Far Out Chronicles* so much that we couldn’t wait for more books in the series.
