What do space-ninjas, Venusian prison brawls, a dog named Prezye, and explosive intergalactic bureaucracy have in common? Only one Karvend Flosser.
Meet Flosser — not a hero, not a soldier, just a guy with a mustache (eventually) and a surprising talent for surviving every absurd situation the galaxy hurls at him. One minute he’s wasting away in a Venusian cell, the next he’s dodging space-pirates, joining the Transgalactic Makate Ninja Taskforce, and kicking radioactive mutants in the throat — all while trying to figure out what the hell is going on.
Written with the razor-sharp absurdity of a Cold War comic book and the cinematic chaos of retro sci-fi classics, It Begins! is a genre-smashing pulp parody that punches clichés in the face, then offers them a smoke.
In a word, I messed up. Had a great start, won a Commonwealth Scholarship to University, did great in sports, represented my school in swimming, represented the University in Judo, in short I was just the sort of guy who would succeed. So what went wrong? I ended up taxi-driving, picking fruit, doing cleaning jobs, delivery jobs, was a driving instructor once and so on. Got fired from most of my jobs, bummed around for awhile, for a long while, actually, etc, etc. Got into trouble with the law, etc, etc. Perfect life for an author, but not recommended otherwise...
