Ace pilot Geddy Starheart and the ancient alien trapped in his head join the crew of a rickety salvage trawler to save the universe from an eons-old conspiracy. Will their galaxy stand against the Zelnads or fizzle like a bad punchline?
After an industrial accident turned Earth 2 into the galaxy’s largest airport bathroom, the last human colony boarded transports for their backup planet, Earth 3. Geddy watched the last one leave and started building a ship capable of returning Eli home.
Seven years later, as they prepare to leave the now-deserted planet, the unique ship he and Eli built together disappears. Without it, he can’t go off-world or get Eli out of his head.
A desperate play to get off the planet lands him in the hold of a trash trawler on a streak of bad luck. With the help of its oddball crew, Geddy and Eli’s quest to find their one-of-a-kind ship takes them on a sweeping, hilarious adventure among the stars.
Fans of space opera and antihero comedies will love the witty, fast-paced humor and heart of the Reassembly series, as will anyone with annoying voices in their head.
Author’s note: There is a bit of salty language in this book, but not more than you’d hear in a middle-school hallway. Many more s-words than f-words, in other words.
