The John and Alvis Sessions Series

It’s a tough universe, even when you don’t have a criminal record. So it’s no surprise that, since being dishonorably discharged from the Star Corps, John MacAlister has bounced from one “not quite legal” job in the Galactic Union to another. Still, life after the Corps hasn’t been a total loss…more like an unmitigated catastrophe.

By his side is his artificially intelligent robot companion (an “artie”) named Alvis. The robot’s existence consists of pointing out every flaw in John’s actions while being forced to endure every consequence.

Still, there is more to Alvis than your average Benko series bot. And when the chips are down, John and Alvis find themselves relying on each other despite their animosity. And it turns out that if you’re someone in trouble and you need help, an aging, washed-out Star Corps pilot and his stubborn artie just might be the heroes you need.
