Forget saving the universe. Take a walk on the tabloid side of science fiction where technologically superior aliens get lost, rednecks battle other-worldly invaders, and the Earth's sole contribution to galactic well-being is divorce litigation without nukes. Only in the pages of these pulpy, over-the-top, short stories can you blast a rabid Vork, prevent global catastrophe by a weather control machine run amok, cause an ice age, or have to clean up after a Nardian Hypotrich named "Pooky." Author Mike Silvestri turns high-concept Sci Fi on its ear flaps when he rips twenty-eight of his humorous and altogether thought-provoking tales out of the supermarket checkout lane and puts them into your webbed flippers to read and enjoy.
