Cosmic Companions
Written by Ted Lazaris
A down-on-his-luck office worker and an alien on the run become the galaxy’s most unlikely duo.
The story
An unlikely buddy trip across the universe
The ordinary life of George, a down-on-his-luck office worker, takes an extraordinary turn when he crosses paths with Zandor, an alien on the run.
After a spectacular crash landing and a government chase, George is swept into an interstellar escapade. Hunted by the relentless Agent Hawkins, George and Zandor form an unlikely duo, from high-speed chases through the cosmos to pit stops at intergalactic burger joints.
Zandor shows George the marvels of the universe; George shows Zandor the joy of a good burger and the warmth of friendship. A tale of friendship that spans galaxies, with plenty of laughs along the way.
