Blanchland Blues

About Blanchland Blues

He’s a disgraced Star Corps pilot with a robot partner fresh off the junk heap… and they’re the good guys.

Since being dishonorably discharged from the Star Corps, pilot John MacAlister has scraped by on 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.

When his latest smuggling run crashes and burns—literally—John finds himself cooling his heels in a lunar lockup. John is offered a deal: rot in a Galactic Union prison forever or locate a teenage runaway named Ril and bring her back to the authorities.

But when he finds Ril, she’s not just a scrappy runaway—she’s carrying dangerous secrets that could shake the Star Corps to its foundations. With ruthless pursuers closing in and Ril’s life in his hands, John has a choice: hand her over, or risk everything and finally take a stand.

The odds are impossible, but for the first since his discharge, John has something worth fighting for—and a shot at reclaiming the life he thought he’d lost forever.

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.
