"Brilliantly quirky, wildly absurd"

"The perfect blend of adventure, conflict and laughable moments"

Hal Spacejock dreams of running a huge, intergalactic freight company.

Unfortunately, his current 'fleet' consists of an ancient rust-bucket of a ship... and he can't afford to refuel it. In fact, he's not even sure how to fly it.

Clunk, an elderly robot, is a qualified pilot with years of experience. Sadly, he's about to embark on his final voyage... straight to the nearest scrap heap.

But it's not over yet.

These two misfits are about to meet, and they'll get one chance to deliver an urgent cargo together.

If only someone had warned them the job was impossible...
