He’s a disgraced Star Corps pilot with a robot partner fresh off the junk heap. She’s a runaway with no future. And they’re the good guys.
Since being dishonorably discharged from the Star Corps, pilot John MacAlister has struggled to make ends meet with less-than-legal cargo runs across the cosmos. He’s desperate to get his life back, but every time John thinks he’s found that “one last job,” some new disaster lands him back at square one.
After an ill-fated smuggling run ends with a disastrous crash landing on the moon (and an even more disastrous landing in the local lunar lockup), John is offered a choice: rot in a Galactic Union prison forever or locate a teenage runaway named Ril and bring her back to the authorities.
It seems like an easy decision—until John actually meets Ril, and discovers the scrappy teen isn’t just a runaway; she’s the only witness to a murder. And the killer? Why, none other than the very man who got John kicked out of the Star Corps: Captain James Kedron, a ruthless, power-hungry officer who will stop at nothing to silence Ril forever.
For the first time since his dishonorable discharge, John has a purpose. Despite facing impossible odds, he vows to protect Ril and expose his former commander’s corruption no matter the cost.
The only challenge? Living long enough to actually do it.
If you enjoy the banter-filled, love-hate dynamics of duos like Kirk and Spock, Han Solo and Chewbacca, or Rick and Morty, then The John and Alvis Sessions is the series for you, with its sharp dialogue, high-stakes action, and unforgettable duo you can’t help but root for.
From the Publisher
You’ll love this character-driven adventure sci-fi with a mix of humor and drama.
He’s just a guy trying to get back on his feet
Meet ex-Star Corps officer John MacAlister—just your everyday, emotionally driven human with a knack for getting into—and out of—trouble. If there’s a wrong choice to make, John will find it. But don’t be fooled; he has a knack for turning blunders into brilliance.
He’s a frustrated AI trying to get some respect
John’s begrudging sidekick, he’s a robot AI that should’ve been scrapped but found rebirth in a junk auction. His logic circuits are as sharp as his wit, and he’s on a mission to improve humanity—if only he could get John to listen to reason. Imagine Siri with no patience and an excess of sarcasm.
Together, they might be just what the galaxy needs…
Their contrasting styles—John’s haphazard approach and Alvis’ calculated strategies—make for a rollercoaster of adventures laced with wit, drama, and existential quandaries. Whether they’re dodging mobsters from the Moon, diffusing galactic crises, or uncovering cosmic conspiracies, they have a knack for showing up just when they’re needed most!
