Zog likes his life predictable. A humanoid built for routine, he’s perfectly content piloting a rustbucket ship with his mischievous robotic dogganoid, Blip, at his side. Together, they scrape by on odd jobs and avoid trouble or excitement. But the galaxy has other plans. When a series of catastrophes forces Zog to command the Duj, a cutting-edge (and alarmingly temperamental) spaceship, he’s thrust into a universe of uncharted planets, hostile aliens, and malfunctioning AI. Blip, meanwhile, is having the time of his circuits, revelling in every chaotic twist their journey throws at them. As Zog struggles to keep the Duj—and his sanity—intact, they encounter a cast of eccentric allies and dangerous foes, from a sharp-tongued engineer to a mannequin-turned-lethal bodyguard. Together, they’ll face exploding planets, galactic bureaucracies, and a cat with suspiciously good aim. In a galaxy where every mission goes wrong, every crewmember has quirks, and every button on the control panel might spell doom, Zog and Blip must find a way to survive—without completely losing their minds. Beyond Spuroxi is a laugh-out-loud sci-fi adventure perfect for fans of humour, heart, and intergalactic mayhem.
