Description

Dive back into the chaotic universe of Robert Kroese's Rex Nihilo series, where trouble is not just a possibility—it's a guarantee. Our irrepressible hero, Rex Nihilo, and his remarkably patient robot sidekick, Sasha, find themselves in hot water once again. This time, they're arrested for a murder they haven't committed... yet.

Thanks to the overzealous Future Uncommitted Crimes Division, Rex and Sasha are roped into a wild scheme: to expose a second plot against Fanton Van Stry, the brilliant but bewildering CEO of the True2Life Android and Carpool Buddy Corporation. The plan? Go undercover among a group of android assassins plotting in the neon-lit streets of the planet Sydmede.

Packed with Kroese's trademark wit, "A Scammer Darkly" turns a simple undercover mission into a riot of missteps and misdeeds. As Rex and Sasha bumble through the investigation, they realize that nothing is what it seems, and the pair soon find themselves at the center of a confounding corporate conspiracy of cosmic proportions.

Will Rex manage to outsmart a future that's seemingly set in stone, or will his schemes spiral out of control? Crack open "A Scammer Darkly" for a side-splitting escapade that proves in space, no one can hear you scheme!

"Fiendishly clever." - Frederick Heimbach, author of Ronald Reagan's Brilliant Bullet

Praise for Starship Grifters

"My favorite read this year. A hilarious space adventure. Hard book to put down." ―Hugh Howey, author of Wool

"Starship Grifters... is not just the funniest SF novel I've read in decades, it may be the funniest I've read ever.... Funnier than Harry Harrison's Bill the Galactic Hero series, and [it] may even match Douglas Adam's Hitchhiker series." - Travis Corcoran, Prometheus Award-winning author of The Powers of the Earth

"Starship Grifters is one of the funniest things I've ever experienced. It is certainly the funniest book I've read." - N.R. LaPoint, author of Chalk

"Laugh-out loud funny. I loved every page of it. If you like sci-fi and laughter, this is the book for you!" - Rob Blackwell, author of The Forest of Forever

"This is a funny, funny book. It is loveably absurd and ridiculously extravagant." - Benjamin Espen

"Damn, I laughed.... This novel is funny, and should be approached only by those looking for a damn good reason to laugh." - John Daulton

"Funny SF is tricky. Funny SF that holds up over an entire novel is a rarity. The writing in this book is sharp, tight, and clever. I laughed out loud enough to lose track of tally or occurrence. In a word, this novel is SMART." - SFFAudio.com

"It's kind of like Foucault's Pendulum in space but without 500 pages of Italians discussing European history." - Castalia House

"Kroese is the premier writer of humorous genre fiction in the indie sphere." - J. Manfred Weichsel, author of Five Maidens on the Pentagram
