STOWAWAY TO THE STARS By Graham Keeler Larry, an undercover agent for the Interstellar Exploration Program, stumbles on a covert operation by Zilon, a ruthless member planet of the Galactic Union. In the process, a fellow agent is killed. He seeks to expose the operation and obtain retribution for his dead colleague, but the Ziloni frame him and he becomes a fugitive from the Union. Larry flees to present-day Earth, where the existence of the Union is unknown. Karen is an Earthgirl seeking the man responsible for her sister’s death. She mistakes Larry for the killer, and unwittingly stows away on his spaceship. Unable to return to Earth because Ziloni ships are waiting for him, Larry’s only chance is to infiltrate a Ziloni military base and obtain evidence to clear his name. Karen has to accompany Larry on his dangerous mission. They land on Zilon undetected, and survive capture by guards and a terrifying ordeal in the military base. Karen’s help is pivotal to their success. They make their escape from the planet, with the vital evidence they have obtained, and avoid recapture by Ziloni secret agents. Larry smuggles Karen into the Union where he delivers the evidence to clear him. In the process, he is critically wounded. As Larry fights for his survival and recovers, Karen finds that her reckless decision to stowaway has ended with her finding a new life and love among the stars.
