Fiore is the (chemically enhanced) muscle; Zeus is the (super-genius) brains. Together, they're out to become the greatest interstellar bounty hunters ever. But along the path to fame and fortune, they'll accumulate contacts, partners, and enemies without even meaning to. It's all part of the job, when you're chasing the biggest bounty ever, and picking up the strangest milks in the galaxy.Brian Koscienski and Chris Pisano are the drunken comic book monkeys behind Fortress Publishing, and the authors of Scary Tales of Scariness and Sciency Tales of Science Fiction. "Brian Koscienski and Chris Pisano are mad geniuses.... The Biggest Bounty is... something of a cross between Alice in Wonderland and Grand Theft Auto, with a good helping of crazy humor thrown in. The best comparison I can think of is some of the wackier works of Ron Goulart or Christopher Moore.... If you're in the mood for a madcap ride through the galaxy's seamy underworld, this is the book for you." --Don Sakers, Analog Science Fiction and Fact"Like two mad scientists sharing a single beautiful mind, Brian Koscienski and Chris Pisano continue the legacy of comedic giants like Abbott and Costello... Martin and Lewis... Wilder and Pryor... Cagney and Lacey.... In The Biggest Bounty, Pisano and Koscienski deliver a tongue-in-cheek-de force that will take you to new worlds and leave you either clawing out your eyes or coming back for more. Either way, you surely won't forget this magical mystery tour of farce and ingenuity." --Jon Sprunk, author of The Shadow Saga series
