Mark Brooks is a normal man with a normal life, that is until his car breaks down and his workplace disappears. The Earth is destroyed and Mark is now going on an adventure with his best friend, alien Patrick Irish; along the way, he meets gambler and Galactic Senator Baxter Swishel, Maximilian, an artificial combination of the minds of every philosopher who ever existed, Tricia Borris, a girl who once rejected Mark, and many more. Their adventures are all guided by the greatest book in the Upper Galaxies, The Adventuring Adventures of the Modern-day Universe: Volume one, and it sure leads them to some wild scenarios.
