"B’ork the Halikarnassian was having a good day: trying to get some food after a day of hauling rocks on Halikarnassus (a place best described as the dullest planet in the Universe, if anybody had only heard of it) was considered as having a good day, indeed.But just one unexpected crash-landing later and B’ork suddenly finds himself chased throughout the far stretches of the Universe by a bunch of vicious yet legal killers who want to extract information from his living brain (most definitely), monstrous tentacled beings from Beyond who want to rip his face off (probably) and, last but not least, another vicious and bloodthirsty killer who merely wants him to shut up and seems to be on his side (possibly).Now the chase is on: B’ork has the chance of a lifetime to see the Galaxy, to explore new and exciting places and, above all, to live another day.That is, if he doesn’t say anything that will guarantee someone shooting him in the face."
