Meet Ed: I'm Ed Turner. I call myself a private detective. You might call me an extraterrestrial. And I am. Hiding in plain sight here on Earth. Me and the others of my ilk call ourselves Pazu. I'm from a planet whose name sounds something like Zyxltl in your tongue. Zyxltl is in a star system whose name shall remain anonymous because, if I am honest and Karen says I am painfully so, we don't want you Earthlings to know because, well, we don't want you showing up there! Can you blame us? Disease carrying, warmongering, gossiping creatures that you are? Do we think we're better than Earthlings? Not necessarily but, even if we're no better, why invite trouble, am I right? Of course, I am.

Who's Karen? Karen is Karen Dalton, the young woman who walked into my one-man detective agency in L.A. and asked for my assistance in looking for her missing scientist brother. And, oh brother, what a lot of trouble she and that case turned out to be. Aliens, military madmen and madwomen, crazy Venusians, and peaches...I absolutely hate peaches!

So stick around, I'm about to tell the story...
