The Intergalactic Interloper - by Delas Heras (Paperback)

About the Book

"When Ollie spots an alien on a nearby rooftop he know right away that no one is going to believe him. Sure enough, his friends think he is losing it, and even his bandmate, Zara, is convinced he is seeing things. But she still offers to help him track down his cat, who has mysteriously vanished. Together, they follow a trail of clues that lead them inexorably upwards, towards the strange creature lurking on a rooftop overhead."--Provided by publisher.

Book Synopsis

Aliens have landed in New York City-and they're here to contact Earth's most intelligent life forms: house cats.

Welcome to the East Village, where a cosmic visitor throws one peculiar neighborhood into chaos. There's Ollie, a struggling musician with a missing cat and a crumbling bookstore job. Zara, his sharp-tongued bandmate. A rabbit-obsessed neighbor. A ghost-chasing widow. A cursed super. And a rooftop-dwelling creature that definitely wasn't invited to the party.

When Ollie spots a two-headed turtle from space perched on a tenement roof, even his friends think he's lost it. But as strange events multiply, unlikely allies band together to unravel the mystery. What they find is weird, wonderful, and entirely out of this world.

A smart, surreal romp full of heart and humor, The Intergalactic Interloper is literary sci-fi for fans of Douglas Adams, Haruki Murakami-and anyone who's ever suspected their cat might be up to something.
