'Growing up Bob Tuesday had few expectations of life. Well, how many expectations can a boy have, when your father is a waste of space and your mother is a genetically enhanced super soldier on the run from the authorities? But even in the irradiated wastelands of the Nevada desert, evil stalks Bob's world; in the form of criminal mastermind Earnest Fell.Thrust alone into the vast galactic empire known as the Unison, Bob must learn quickly how to navigate worlds of interspecies pimple popping, educational upgrades, suicide attack rats and a host of other catastrophes, as he attempts to answer the biggest question of all: "Where's my lighter?" Scum of the Universe is a riotous romp across the science fiction genre. Outrageously funny, this is an electrifying debut from Grant J Everett.' (Publication summary)
