Space dragons are tearing up the galaxy and something has to be done. From the mythical planet of Earth, a hero is chosen - Chance Maybe, a twelve year old boy in a wheelchair. Though he's not so much as chosen, as he's rather the victim of a lab experiment gone wrong that snatches him away from Earth. Upon arrival, the Altie scientists are so thrilled to see him that they quickly stuff him in a cloak and smuggle him off to their rulers to find out what to do with him. The Elders confer, a prophesy is revealed, and Chance becomes their would-be Dragon Slayer - or so they had hoped. However, Chance just wants to go home to his bedroom window to watch the neighborhood kids play in the park. That silly prophesy is up for interpretation in his mind. Though disappointed, the Elders decide to help him return home, and they dust off a legendary spaceship, The Centurion Jack, with a crew lead by the disgraced, drunken Captain Adalin. His appointed second-in-command is the noble Teegs who was once the captain's prison guard. Things do not go well. Despite the bickering crew, they're off to see the mysterious Mr. Ages, who's living in a gloomy forest on a haunted planet, to be shown how to send Chance home. Utter rubbish, really, as no one is even sure if all that is anything but a myth. Nonetheless, the quest is on, but lurking in the shadows of space, the Emerald Dragon pursues them in hopes of capturing the boy in its goal for galactic conquest. But not even the Bloodfang pirates, beastly hyena-morgs, or a phantom menace sabotaging their mission will stop Chance from getting home. Though if he does choose to help his wonderfully odd, new friends, he might find the strangest thing of all in this galaxy - a place to belong. "Chance Maybe and the Galactic Glitch" is the first book in the Creator's Stone Saga. It is a humorous and fast paced introduction into the world of the Garden Galaxy with over 20 charming illustrations (including the cover) by Charles Douglas himself.
