Anna Gilmour's life takes a turn for the weird the day Max, an alien with amnesia, falls from the sky and into her life. Like a cosmic alarm clock ticking a countdown to oblivion, Max's arrival on Earth sets an intergalactic struggle into motion. Alien empires want to control him. Space pirates want to sell him. The Man in the Moon wants to kill him . . . and Anna just wants to help him.

A galactic free-for-all is about to go down and Earth is ground zero. Can the universe survive megalomaniacal alien accountants, a psychotic F.B.I. agent, transcendental Tibetan monks, foretold prophecies, time travel, and what could possibly be the meaning of life? Pack your bags, hold the phones, and buckle up tight. It's the end of the world as we know it . . . but don't worry, everything's under control.

"This is a really fun read," said Maxwell Strangewell editor Dave Land.  "If you liked Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy then this story is for you!"

Maxwell Strangewell features art and story by the Fillbach Brothers and will arrive on sale in 2007.
