From IntroductioN:
TERRENCE JACKSON
was looking forward to taking his kids along to the State Fair, along with a few of his good friends. He hadn’t seen them in two weeks, as they’d been spending time with their no-good mother and her mysterious new boyfriend.
As his pickup pulled into the trailer park, TJ noticed a bright flash in the sky. Linda Leigh’s banged-up trailer was empty and abandoned. Maddi Sue and Connor were nowhere to be found.
Turns out Linda Leigh’s new beau was none other than Gregoxar IV, Heir-Apparent to the Imperium of Tauron – and she was flying away to become his Empress.
Squid Head Bill was able to get the faintest trace on the jump trail. Chucking together an old warp drive and TJ’s old Dodge pickup, a posse set off in search of Tauron and TJ’s kids.
Too bad none of them checked the gas tank before leaving.
