Cosmic Delivery Service

Andrew never meant to change his life. He was just trying to get home.

Cutting across a dark field after a long night, he crashes into something that shouldn't be there - a smooth, silent object half-buried in the ground. No lights. No markings. No explanation.

Just ... wrong.

By morning, the mystery has only deepened. And when the truth finally reveals itself, it brings with it something far stranger than Andrew could ever have imagined - and an opportunity he can't afford to ignore.

With the family farm under pressure and money running thin, Andrew makes a decision that will change everything. What begins as a clever way to get ahead soon spirals into a secret too big to manage, drawing attention from people who shouldn't be asking questions ... and answers that don't come without consequences.

Funny, sharp, and quietly heartfelt, Cosmic Delivery Service is a story about chance, consequence, and the unexpected paths that follow when the ordinary collides with something far beyond it.

Author-Poet-Versifier. Born in Harlesden on the outskirts of London in 1943, Peter Barns grew up with the scenic backdrop of Regent's Park. After attending a secondary modern school, Peter embarked on a varied career path before finding his footing in the construction industry. As an electrician, he earned a City & Guilds qualification and spent two decades working on building sites. Peter's life journey has been marked by rich personal experiences, including the joy of being a father to two, a grandfather to five, and a great-grandfather to two. In the late 1980s, he sought a quieter life in the Highlands of Scotland, where he transitioned into counselling, helping individuals with alcohol and drug issues, and later managing a charitable organisation that repurposed computers for community use. Now retired, Peter channels his creativity into writing.
