Description
"Somewhere beyond the stars, well past the scattered light of the unknown universe, in a realm so distant that no life of any kind has ever ventured there, and where the fundamental rules of time and space have never applied, there's nothing.If you find yourself in such a place, you know you've gone too far."Introducing the madcap adventures of Ernst Vossoff and Karl Nimmitz, a couple of interstellar rogues whose adventures often veer in unexpected directions, sometimes in space limousines show more and sometimes dropping by continent-wide cocktail parties. In the great tradition of Douglas Adams, VOSSOFF AND NIMMITZ is science fiction made utterly hilarious.Adam-Troy Castro is the author of the Andrea Cort novels, which have won both the Philip K. Dick Award in the US and the Seiun award in Japan. He has been nominated for a Nebula Award, for a Stoker Award, and for the German Kurd Lasswitz Prize.PRAISE FOR ADAM-TROY CASTRO"[The Andrea Cort] series really is something special... These books are compulsively readable space mysteries, but they're also hiding little packets of cleverness and substance under the surface. Highly recommended."-io9.com show lessTags

This one's for Douglas Adams. - First words
- (Introduction) Having to take the stage (even one that's only made of paper and ink) before Adam-Troy Castro is a very daunting thing.
(Prologue) Somewhere beyond the stars, well past the scattered light of the unknown universe, in a realm so distant that no life of any kind has ever ventured there, and where the fundamental rules of time and space have neve... (show all)r applied, there's nothing. - Last words
- (Click to show. Warning: May contain spoilers.)"...the size of a planet" is a total, unredeemable mess; it makes less sense than any other story in the series, and is totally inexcusable. What the hell. That means you'll probably love it.
