About This Book

Kilgore Trout's Epic Science Fiction saga of The Space Wanderer, an Earthman wearing an eye-patch, levis, and a shabby gray sweater who roams the cosmos in a Chinese spaceship...

The Space Wanderer, a man without a planet who has gained immortality from an elixir drunk during a sexual interlude with an alien queen in heat...

The Space Wanderer, an intergalactic rover whose constant companions are a dog, an owl, and a female robot programmed for, among other things, unique fleshly delights...

The Space Wanderer, a pretty nice guy whose only fault is that he asks questions that no one can answer: primarily, Why are we created only to suffer and die?
