Law & Order meets Men in Black in this graphic novel adaptation
of a TV pilot script by the author of A Game of Thrones. Ideal for
fans of Saga. Second City. First Contact. Ten years ago,
representatives from an interstellar collective of 314 alien
species landed on Earth, inviting us to become number 315. Now,
after seemingly endless delays, the Starport in Chicago is
operational, a destination for diplomats, merchants, and tourists
alike. Inside, visitors are governed by intergalactic treaty.
Outside, the streets belong to Chicago's finest. Charlie Baker,
newly promoted to the squad that oversees the Starport district, is
eager to put to practical use his enthusiasm for all things
extraterrestrial; he just never expected to arrive on his first day
in the back of a police cruiser. Lieutenant Bobbi Kelleher is
married to the job, which often puts her in conflict with Lyhanne
Nhar-Lys, security champion of Starport and one of the galaxy's
fiercest warriors. Undercover with a gang of anti-alien extremists,
Detective Aaron Stein has no problem mixing business with pleasure
- until he stumbles upon evidence of a plot to assassinate a
controversial trade envoy with a cache of stolen ray guns. Now the
Chicago PD must stop these nutjobs before they piss off the entire
universe. Based on a TV pilot script written by George R.R. Martin
and adapted and illustrated by Hugo Award-nominated artist Raya
Golden, this bold and brilliant graphic novel adaptation brings
Martin's singular vision to rollicking life. With all the intrigue,
ingenuity, and atmosphere that made A Game of Thrones a worldwide
phenomenon, Starport launches a new chapter in the career of a
sci-fi/fantasy superstar.
