About the book
A disgraced corporate executive. A hunted space smuggler. A hippie who thinks reality is broken. And a conspiracy that could rewrite the laws of physics.
Rex Mercury used to be a powerful vice-president at Sterling Interstellar, closing million-credit deals from a corner office on Mars. Now he's a wanted space smuggler dealing in illegal oxygen and hallucinogenic fungi, wearing a three-year-old tailored suit and carrying a bounty bigger than the GDP of Phobos.
When Rex is framed for the bizarre murder of his former boss and thrown into the vacuum of space by his own mutinous crew, his only chance of survival comes from the last person he wants to see — Cosmo "Moonbeam" Void, a cosmic hippie in a tie-dye spacesuit who believes the universe is a glitchy simulation.
Hunted across the solar system, Rex and Cosmo must uncover the truth behind a corporate conspiracy to privatize the very laws of physics before it destroys everything.
Mercury in Retrograde is a fast-paced science fiction space opera packed with:
- Space smugglers and galactic corporations - Satirical humor and absurd twists - Interstellar chases and corporate intrigue - A sci-fi story that doesn't take itself too seriously
