More new fiction. Part One of the Erasmus series of books. Described as Star Trek meets Carry On, head on and without compromise. Science fiction as science fiction should be, hilariously funny, with a bite like a rabid bulldog trying to rip your testicles off. Get it while it's hot! You might as well hold on to your privates and kiss your arse goodbye right now, as the defenders of the United Confederation of Worlds - UCOW - and self-appointed saviours of the Universe set sail on the Galactic winds to take Armageddon to yet another bunch of uppity, gog-eyed aliens!
Cover Blurb:
When the Universe is threatened with extinction by a race of beings far more powerful than man and the combined forces of the Allied Confederation, who are the last people you would want to send in on a diplomatic mission? Captain James Armstrong Custer and the crew of the Starship Erasmus, that's who. Fortunately, diplomacy in this case means forcing the aliens to eat lead. When the chips are down and all else has failed, Custer and his motley band of reprobates take charge of the newest vessel in the fleet, the Conqueror Class Erasmus - a turkey of a ship - and set sail on the Galactic winds to venture into the unknown, through the rim of the Universe and 'Beyond The Void'. With the combination of a crew more suited to the confines of a straitjacket than interstellar defence and a ship past its sell-by date before it was even built, mankind might as well kiss its arse goodbye right now!
Join Captain James Armstrong Custer and his motley band of lunatic reprobates as they venture forth, out of their straitjackets and restraints, to take diplomacy to new heights. Travel along with Sadeck, Custer’s ice-cold, logic-driven reptilian sidekick; ‘Stumpy’ McGregor, the wild Scottish, whisky-sodden, one-legged Chief Engineer; Tuttle, the ship’s Doctor who’s more inclined to hack patients to bits than cure their ills; Nurse Lewis, the voracious ship’s bike; Daisy-May, the country-&-western-wailing Communications Officer; Helmsmen Tovarich, the east European navigator, and his partner in crime, the dreadlock-bedecked weapons officer, Tyler; the particle phase pistol-toting, ball-breaking, formidable female Chief of Security, Adams and last, but by no means least, Dweeb, the only manically depressed robotic unit ever to go . . . ‘Beyond the Void’.
