New York Times–bestselling author Alan Dean Foster’s Jed the Dead is a comedic science fiction buddy road trip of interstellar proportions.
 
En route from Texas to the West Coast, Ross Ed Hager has an encounter of the most unusual kind when he comes across the corpse of an alien. Naming the three-eyed, six-limbed dead extraterrestrial Jed, Ross takes his new companion on the road so he doesn’t have to see the sites alone.
 
Along the way, the odd couple—accompanied by a woman who hitches a ride in Ross’s convertible,—are pursued by government operatives, bounty hunters, Hollywood agents, UFO fanatics, and intergalactic cops. And when Ross starts exhibiting strange, uncanny abilities, it may be a sign that Jed may not be as dead as he appears to be . . . 
 
“Foster twists a black comedy about an alien corpse into a hilarious, weird, and out-of-this-world road trip, full of memorable characters, witty dialogue, and plenty of surprises.” —Publishers Weekly
