The flaw that always seems to trip him up is that he is a con man, a swindler, and a thief. The entire galaxy seems to have it in for the poor crook. Of course, his task of staying alive isn't made any easier since he has to bring along his ex-girlfriend, who has become a zombie. Then again, maybe dragging along the universe's dullest man from the galaxy's most dangerous planets is even worse? You choose. Will Gideon ever catch a break? To make a bad situation worse, since he's offended or robbed most everyone, he is perpetually running from one certain death right into the middle of a new one. All he wants is to be rich, without doing a day's work in his life. Is that too much to ask? When he accidentally flies his spaceship into Heaven, do you think anything good comes of it? No. He kidnaps an angel. He has to run for his soul. Just because he leaves a pirate's daughter at the altar, does he have to have his head cut off? You see. Not fair. The only thing that's certain for our three travelers is that it will only go from bad to worse, easier to harder, less painful to really, really painful. If it gets any worse, someone might have to get a job. I know. Bogus! The fun and silliness, in the end, make the journey well worth the effort ... at least, that is, for you the reader, if not for the characters.
