Insiders: Book 4 in the Peabody Cosmos Series!

By Jeri Massi

"It feels like Narnia collided with Hitchhiker's Guide, but with your own brilliant spark." -- Charlotte Corner, reviewer

A Parasite Comes to Feast
Shy, near-sighted Jean Derwood talks herself into going alone to investigate Doc Thorson's secret lab. She heedlessly bumbles into danger, inadvertently coming between Doc Thorson and a deadly, enemy that the science teacher is battling: A low-mass, floating parasite who lives on the dying as their defenses collapse.

Stranded and Hunted
Jean's rash actions set off a chain reaction that leads her to a remote corner of the galaxy where the parasite haunts her, waiting for her to begin to die. Savage invaders on the planet hunt her she as food as she doggedly tries to survive.

Never Fear: Mags Hardbottle is on the Case
To find and rescue Jean in time, Doc and Scruggs Grady team up with the galaxy's premier detective, Mags Hardbottle. It's another comedy-adventure romp through the cosmos, but with a touch of heaven, as Jean encounters some of the true citizens of the cosmos in her adventures.

Review:
"The way you mix laugh-out-loud adventure with that deeper, spiritual heartbeat is something really special. It feels like Narnia collided with Hitchhiker's Guide, but with your own brilliant spark." Charlotte Corner, review
