Synopsis

Baxter Moon's first mission is to locate a missing Aquarian ship that has been taken over by a group of aliens whose aim is to subjugate Earth by entertaining its citizens to death. His second mission is to rescue a beautiful blue-haired Aquarian princess, known affectionately as "Your Highness." Baxter is assisted in his missions by his able but peculiar shuttle crew--a genetically modified, enormous girl who's a mechanical genius, her (genetically modified) twin, a small extremely klutzy math wizard, a genetically modified chimpanzee, and a nit-picking overly sensitive computer. Baxter's and his crew must avoid killer asteroids, elude deadly TVTrons, and, by the way, head off a possible galactic war. A funny book for would-be space cadets.

About this title

From the Back Cover

From the log of Sigma-II squad

My name, and I’m not making this up, is Baxter Moon.

I never expected to be in command of a space shuttle, my commanding officer a genetically modified chimpanzee, and my crew a slow-thing girl who’s a mechanical whiz and a klutzy cybergenius who trips over his shoelaces.,/P>

I also never though we’d rescue a beautiful blue-haired princess in a ship that has been overwhelmed by a dangerous alience force who plan to take over Earth, paralyzing their victims with entertainment.,/P>

And this was just my first mission.
