Publisher's Synopsis

A satirical science fiction novel that sets out to explode SF cliches by the shuttleload, this is the story of Bill who was a peaceful farm boy until he was lured by the martial music of the Empire Space Corps. He is drugged and forced to enlist, but becomes the Corp's unlikeliest hero.
