Andrew Moriarty has been reading science fiction his whole life, and he always wondered about the stories he read. How did they ever pay the mortgage for that space ship? Why doesn’t it ever need to be refueled? What would happen if it broke, but the parts were backordered for weeks? And why doesn’t anybody ever have to charge sales tax?

Ships need fuel, fuel costs money, and the accountants run everything.
He was born in Canada, and has lived in Toronto, Vancouver, Los Angeles, Germany, and Maastricht. Previously he worked as a telephone newspaper subscriptions salesman, a pizza delivery driver, wedding d ...more

Quotes by Andrew Moriarty (?)

“He will have read the ‘Official Rules Regarding Space Executions’ or whatever the appropriate rulebook is called, and he will have found a clause that only allows them to execute people if they have a pink spaceship, and since this spaceship is blue they cannot execute anybody until they paint it pink, and then he will show them that there is a shortage of pink paint, so we will be safe. He is very good with rulebooks. This is why he is here.”
