JAY MARTEL reads from CHANNEL BLUE

Channel Blue (Head of Zeus)

From the executive producer of "Key & Peele" comes a comic novel that may strike a little too close to home. 

 

Earth used to be Galaxy Entertainment's most lucrative show. The inhabitants of the Western Galaxy - the saviest, richest demographic in the Milky Way - just couldn't get enough of the day-to-day details of the average Earthling's live.

But Channel Blue's ratings are flagging and its producers are planning a spectacular finale. In just three weeks, their TV show will go out with a bang. The trouble is, so will Earth.

Only one man can save our planet and he's hardly a likely hero...
