“Every ’old’ book is a ’new’ adventure for anyone who has ’never’ read it.” ®
Description : James Bolivar diGriz, criminal-virtuoso-turned-undercover-agent, had never been one to quail in the face of danger. Therefore, when his lovely, larcenous wife, Angelina, was kidnapped by the cruelest organization in the galaxy – Interstellar Internal and External Revenue (IIER) – he wasted no time in formulating a scheme to free her.
After being taken into custody, diGriz wasn’t taken to prison. Instead, he was taken to an unfamiliar building across town…where his boss, Harold Inskipp – the hard-nosed, humorless head of the Interplanetary Special Corps – was waiting to hand him a tricky, very possibly suicidal assignment. A satellite base which had been hosting a major meeting of the League Navy chiefs of staff had vanished without a trace, leaving League defenses in a dangerously disorganized state. It was up to diGriz to find out what had happened in the satellite and who was responsible.
The first part of the puzzle wasn’t at all difficult for him to solve. A quick jump backward in time revealed that the satellite and its occupants had been swallowed by a huge, toothy something . But when it came to following the something back to its home base, the situation became a bit more hairy…or rather, scaly. Because the attack on the satellite was merely the first move in what was destined to become an all-out intergalactic war – between mankind and an unholy union of slimy, stalk-eyed, multi-limbed and oozy-tentacled alien races…who had decided that human beings were just too dry and ugly to exist !
