A Maxo Magnaveer Adventure

A Political Sci-Fi Parody By Daniel P. Douglas

Sometimes the greatest fight is to discover ourselves

In the year 2247, Cosmic Law Force Detectant Maxo Magnaveer yearns for the promotion that will validate his twenty years of service.

His chance arrives when flamboyant space pirate Colonel Zaza D'Rump—complete with orange complexion, peculiar hair, and promises to "Make Mars Great Again"—hijacks a vital food shipment bound for Martian colonists.

As D'Rump threatens millions with starvation unless he's given control of Earth's shipping lanes, Maxo commandeers a vessel and races toward Jupiter's Edge, where the narcissistic colonel operates from his secret base, Porto Blago.

Perfect for fans who enjoy The Expanse, Firefly, and science fiction that blends action with biting social critique. Will Maxo survive the showdown at Jupiter's Edge—and finally discover what truly matters?

Nicolus Schroeder Literary Critic

A couple of centuries in the future, life on Earth has changed, yet in many ways, some things haven’t and probably never will. Take the eternal, existential struggle each individual wrestles with to one degree or another.

“My characters are often what we call ordinary people. They just happen to find themselves on a collision course with destiny and taking courageous, extraordinary action.”
