Millawanda is dying. In saving the planet Gazz, she has burned up the remaining blue crystal she had for power. She can get by on thermo-grym, but for how long? If she doesn’t return to her origin, a place or planet named Orixy somewhere near the Galactic Core, she will not survive. A quest fraught with peril, running on only a fraction of her normal power, the Crew is dogged by ruthless killers known as “Mysterians,” as they embark on a one-way, 35,000 light-year torturous path across the galaxy that no one has traveled for over 17,000 years!

FOR THE GAMADIN CREW A HOMECOMING TAKES ON A WHOLE NEW MEANING!!!
Upon returning to Earth, Harlow and his crew have big plans for R&R. Millawanda is fixed.

President Delmonte has been impeached, replaced by President for Life, Nootzy Shame, Tinker and Dodger are missing, cash is no longer accepted, economic chaos is everywhere, the world is on the brink of total thermonuclear war, and The Church believes the alien saucer carries the Wild Strain of beings who have come to destroy the human race!
And they haven’t even landed yet . . .
