Just Vic

Gerald Burke

Vic follows a simple code of life—when stuck between certain death and certain death, always choose a third option.

Ready to renounce his criminal ways, Vic needs to pull one last heist—transporting a rare and valuable albino friklar across a short section of space without detection. Easy money.

However, when the animal escapes on a primitive planet called Earth, Vic must either settle accounts with his boss—the ruthless Axle Prim—or endure his wrath.

With a careful mix of charm, guile and old-fashioned skullduggery, Vic lures a hapless postal worker into a scheme that includes an edible form of dark matter, a half-mad spaceship and a machine capable of verifying the existence of the soul. As the tangles unweave, Vic’s plan will either cost them both their lives or gain Vic everything he’s ever wanted.

If all goes well, he might just save the cat too…

A space adventure that is equal parts satire, Just Vic will have you in LOL induced stitches the whole way through.
