SCI FI FUNNY MAN CJ HENDERSON HAS DONE IT AGAIN The Pan-Galactic League of Suns had been the undisputed ruling force in the galaxy for eons. But now, a fledgling race of ape-descendants (guess who) has burst onto the scene to challenge the old order. Under the command of Captain Alexander Valance, the Earth Alliance Starship Roosevelt is the first of the long-awaited Dreadnought-class vessels, crewed by 10,000 of Earth's sharpest minds and broadest backs.The Navy prides itself on having professional, by-the-book officers and crewmen; but fortunately for the Roosevelt and her mission, some of her sailors haven't gotten around to reading that book yet.This is the saga of Chief Gunnery Officer Rockland Vespucci, "Rocky," his best friend Machinist First Mate Li Qui Kon, better known to top-notch, wire-and-screw jockeys everywhere as Noodles and all the rest of the singing and dancing sailors of the A.E.S. Roosevelt. To say this bunch thought outside the box would imply they thought there was a box in the first place.This is, beyond a shadow of a doubt, the craziest collection of space opera comedies ever assembled. It's all the stories of those beloved scallywags, Rocky and Noodles, concluded with a new, never-before seen tale to end the saga.Tribble lovers... this one's for you

You walk into this room at your own risk, because it leads to the future, not a future that will be but one that might be. This is not a new world, it is simply an extension of what began in the old one.Rod Serling, Twilight ZoneThis is Science Fiction as it was in the golden ago of the Twilight Zone.From the boundless imagination of C.J. Henderson come eighteen stories of sci fi adventure, yes--but also dark fantasy, psychological horror and a few more realms which haven't been seen all that often since Mr. Serling's famous sign post used to point the world in the direction of the just slightly strange.Step into these unique and sometimes terrifying neighborhoods with us, so many of them not all that different from our own. And once there, be prepared to explore the human condition set out against test it may encounter all too soon--where the Good can be caught up in unforeseen consequences, and where the Bad often live just long enough to realize they are going straight to hell for what they've done. Sometimes taking the good with them.This is the Science Fiction of C.J. Henderson... sometimes amusing. Sometimes not. Be prepared.
