Earth's Champion

By Steven Lockewood

When ordinary fast-food run turns into first contact with an alien-and a galactic warning-Grant Barrett finds his mundane life upended in Earth's Champion, a gripping sci-fi adventure that blends heart, humor, and high stakes.

Grant is a charming underachiever with a taste for Krystal burgers and a knack for stumbling into the wrong situation at the worst time. When a mysterious woman abducts him at gunpoint and drags him into the woods to witness a wrecked alien vessel, he thinks things can't get any stranger. Then he's forcibly merged with a strange alien device-one that floods his mind with terrifying visions of worlds consumed by a ruthless empire known as the Devourers.

The woman, who Grant dubs "Harriett," is a herald from a scattered galactic resistance. Her mission: warn Earth before it's too late. But Earth isn't ready, and neither is Grant. As shadowy tracking parties begin hunting them, Grant is pulled deeper into an interstellar conspiracy where nothing is quite what it seems-not even the people-or aliens-who look human.

Part buddy road trip, part alien invasion thriller, Earth's Champion combines dry wit, escalating suspense, and emotionally grounded science fiction. It's The X-Files meets Men in Black with a side of District 9. As Grant and Harriett race to find someone-anyone-who will believe their story, they face a choice that could decide Earth's fate: warn the planet, or fight to defend it.
