Empire Resorts Inc. is taking over Las Vegas through murder, bribery, dirty politics, and a billion dollar mega-brothel called The Dark Star. Evidence that can destroy Empire’s scheme resides on a stolen data stick. Before it gets to the FBI, it ends up in the hands of a simple landscaper, Luke.
Luke takes the Stars Wars mythology and re-tells it, re-invents it, and takes it to forbidden places. It is dark, funny, violent and sexy.
If you like crime stories sautéed in sex-and-violence sauce, served with a side order of humor, and seasoned with a dash of literary experimentation, give it a try.
