Oh, Glorkian Warrior. You were doing so well! You almost had that rampaging space snake under control -- when Buster Glark, your villainous rival in the Glorkian Corps, showed up to make fun of you! He laughed so hard at your misfortune that he gave himself the hiccups. And that was just on the first page of this book. Things are only going to get worse from here, Glorkian Warrior. But we promise there will be plenty of pie at the end.
