A prequel to the book NYT bestselling author Hugh Howey called "One of my favorite space romps of all time!"

A space opera to keep you laughing -- action-packed black comedy & satire.

Interstellar con man Rex Nihilo has a price tag on his head. Railroaded into smuggling a shipment of contraband to a planet short on food, Rex finds himself on the run from Ubiqorp, a corporation which reaps obscene profits by keeping the planet dependent on shipments of synthetic rations.

When Rex and his robot companion Sasha are sentenced to work as slave labor on a massive Ubiqorp plantation, they learn the terrible secret behind the corporation's products. To escape, Rex and Sasha team up with a mis-programmed combat drone and an intelligent mutant plant to lead a rebellion against their merciless corporate overlords.

Non-stop laughs for readers who love action and adventure with their comedy.

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

Praise for Starship Grifters

"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
