Target Earth (The Intergalactic Nemesis)

An homage to the silver age of comic books. The year is 1933. Pulitzer Prize-winning reporter Molly Sloan and her intrepid research assistant Timmy Mendez team up with a mysterious librarian from Flagstaff, Arizona, named Ben Wilcott. Together, they travel from Rumania to Scotland, across Europe to North Africa, then to the Robot Planet (in the Effdillinplitzenpire Galaxy), and finally to Imperial Zygon to face the most terrible threat humanity has ever known: an invading force of sludge-monsters from outer space known as the Zygonians. The entire book is printed in glorious full color. Each chapter ends with several pages of "extras" that give background to the story and characters thus far. Part adventure, part science fiction, part period, part romance, The Intergalactic Nemesis - Book One: Target Earth is all fun. "A raucous romp." - The Austin Chronicle
