Adventures in the Galaxy of Fantabulous Wonderment

It is a time of turmoil in the galaxy. Following the disappearance of The Defender of the Universe, the Galactic Presidency has been dissolved and Anarchy reigns. With the galaxy divided into three distinct zones, the Galactic Police and the Culthorpe pirate family are engaged in a Cold War from across the Lifeless Zone. Life has never been more dangerous for the people of the universe, doubly so for those who make a living flying from planet to planet. And to make matters worse, an invisible conspiracy is threatening life itself.None of which means anything to Daniel Gordon, earthling and wage slave, whose major concern is keeping hold of his pension plan. That is until he is unexpectedly abducted by the galaxy`s premier employment agency and finds himself stuck with a crew of misfit mercenaries on a cargo transporter built more like a skip with thrusters. Will he get Back To Earth in time for the meeting with his boss? Or will his adventure be cut short?
