✦ Synopsis

A prequel story to the book NYT bestselling author Hugh Howey called One of my favorite space romps of all time!

Youve just stolen five thousand lazepistols. What do you do now?

If your answer isnt Sell them to three different criminal organizations, your name isnt Rex Nihilo.

Interstellar con artist Rex Nihilo has just hijacked a shipment of lazepistols, and he needs to unload them fast. When Rex encounters a band of stick-wielding separatists on the planet Chicolini, he thinks hes found the buyers hes been looking for. But Rexs greed knows no bounds, and hes determined to scam the separatists out of their cargo so that he can re-sell his black-market booty a few more times before leaving the planet. As the complications in Rexs plan multiply, he becomes a target of not only the separatists, but also of paramilitary thugs, the local cops, and even the Ursa Minor mafia.

Will Rexs long-suffering robot companion talk some sense into him before he gets them both killed? Or will Rex, the self-described greatest wheeler-dealer in the galaxy, finally succeed in outsmarting himself?

Find out in this fast-paced and hilarious story!

About the Author

Robert Kroeses sense of irony was honed growing up in Grand Rapids, Michiganhome of the Amway Corporation and the Gerald R. Ford Museum, and the first city in the United States to fluoridate its water supply. In second grade, he wrote his first novel, the saga of Captain Bill and his spaceship, Thee Eagle. This turned out to be the high point of his academic career. After barely graduating from Calvin College in 1992 with a philosophy degree, he was fired from a variety of jobs, before moving to California, where he stumbled into software development. As this job required neither punctuality nor a sense of direction, he excelled at it. In 2009, he called upon his extensive knowledge of useless information and love of explosions to write his first novel, Mercury Falls. Since then he has written two sequels, Mercury Rises (2011) and Mercury Rests (2012), and a humorous epic fantasy, Disenchanted.
