Accountants in space and a love story that spans a 100 years and crosses 100 light years of space. Earth born accountant Adrian Smith is a phenomenally successful galactic black marketeer of junk food and music, forced to cleverly conceal the source of his wares. Earth is one of a handful of planets whose very location carries with it a death sentence imposed by the regulators of intergalactic trade, roughly translated as Certified Public Accountants. To unlock the mystery of Earth's banishment form the galaxy, Adrian will first have to help a dieing alien keep a long forgotten promise. Through a faded journal, Adrian retraces the steps of the alien's visit to Earth in 1915, from the darkest depths of the Amazon jungle to the Pan Pacific International Exhibition in San Francisco to the war torn trenches of France at the dawn of WWI. Adrian is aided by a bartender who has an unusual propensity to name everything, including a planet after himself, the most sinister of black marketeers whose navigator eats cans of Pepsi™ raw and princess who is locked into indentured servitude. Solving the mystery reveals a treasure far more valuable than a cargo hold filled with Dorritos™.
