Synopsis

A Queen. A Murder. A Mystery. A Conspiracy. A Man. A Name. Captain Space Hardcore and his trusty manservant Ebeneezer Funkworthy find themselves tangled up in the Machiavellian power games of the Royal court of Aplubia: an alien culture who are as averse to breaded goods as they are to not murder! Thrown into the fight for succession and the deadly games of an unknown killer vying for power, Hardcore and Funkworthy must tackle the twin worlds of Aplubia’s shadowy monarchy and the oppressed and revolting underclasses in an attempt to track down the dark forces before they strike again, with disastrous results. Full of high octane fights, intrigue, scheming, sexy alien princesses and medium-speed zeppelin chases The Court of the Crusty Killings is your introduction to the world of Captain Space Hardcore. So strap in, dear reader and make sure there are no ovulating ladies present when you start reading this adventure- for the sheer virility of our hero is something that cannot be guaranteed to be contained by mere paper and ink.

A propos du livre

À propos de l'auteur

Bon Vivant. Raconteur. Philanthropist. Obstetrician. Hero. All of these words have been used, and (more importantly) understood, by author Michael Ronson, the author of the adventures of Captain Space Hardcore. Although he is now a beloved author and man, Ronson’s road was not an easy one. He was born as a baby with no published books to his name, no respect and few controllable bodily functions. However, if there’s one thing Michael Ronson is known for it’s overcoming obstacles and his intelligence. So with a few years of practice and study he became a fully-fledged adult, coming top of his class and graduating with honours. With that under his belt he set his eyes to becoming a wealthy and successful businessman. Several years later Ronson started writing. A brief detour in the field of erotic fiction had proved fruitless and upsetting for all involved, but Ronson carried his love of prose and elaborate, sexual similes over to science fiction. Ronson had found the love of his life. It was prescription painkillers. But selling science fiction stories was a good way to get money for them and Ronson began spinning what he called “fantastical tales of spaceships and aliens and whatever.” Years down the line Ronson hit paydirt with the creation of the character Captain Space Hardcore, a man that Ronson conceived of as his Ubermensch. An ardent follower of Nietzsche, Ronson decided to create a man who was perfect in every way. With no character flaws or frailties to hold him back Hardcore was a perfect distillation of Ronson’s far right values and hatred of complexity. When not weaving dreams or creating art Ronson can be found in his native Scunthorpe where he makes his home, living with two dogs, his adopted son Ebenezer, an ex-wife and a cache of unlicensed firearms.
