"Uh-oh...I think we're lost." Commander Kevyn Andreyasn invented the Teraport, so when something huge goes horribly wrong and starts interfering with every teraport in the galaxy, Kevyn, Schlock, and the rest of Tagon's Toughs are going to need powerful allies. Especially since they're on the run from deadly enemies... again. Schlock Mercenary: Resident Mad Scientist is the sixth book in the epic comic space-opera Schlock Mercenary, but it is also a fine place to start reading. It features 144 glossy, full-color pages with brand new margin art, new notes, and eleven pages of bonus story, "Mad Scientist's Residence," by Dan Willis and Howard Tayler. Every strip in the book has been expertly recolored by Travis Walton, and the whole show is kicked off with a foreword by Greg Bear.

"No matter how hard I rattle this maraca, I can't seem to shake a new ship out of it." Tagon's Toughs are on shore leave indefinitely: no ship, no payroll, and no prospects. The godlike A.I. they accidentally installed at the Galactic Core isn't hiring, and has plans they're better of staying out of regardless. Then a ship becomes available at a price that's just too low to pass up, even if it does mean that there might possibly be some strings attached -- long, invisible ones trailing right back to the galactic core. This is the seventh print collection of Schlock Mercenary, the epic space opera delivered four panels at a time. It features 176 pages of comics in full color along with margin art and a never-seen-on-the-web bonus story.

Schlock Mercenary: Emperor Pius Dei

Commander Kevyn Andreysn has gone primitive, along with Elf, Brad, Nick, Pronto, and Schlock, but Kevyn is missing some memories. "What you don't know can't hurt you." doesn't hold true here, because what Kevyn doesn't know has already killed him at least once, and it's about to happen again.

Schlock Mercenary: The Sharp End of the Stick

"But...we hate that guy!" Captain Tagon has a difficult mission ahead of him. He must convince his own company that the contract to rescue former General Xinchub is worth taking, in spite of the fact that every man, woman, and carbosilicate amorph in the company would rather see Xinchub dead. It would be ever so much easier if they could arrive just a little bit too late and instead of rescuing King Xinchub the Prandial, Tagon's Toughs could get paid to steal his body...

Schlock Mercenary: The Body Politic

Amy is a girl with ideas like wild horses. They get her into all kinds of trouble, but then there comes a day when they help her rescue someone else. This sequel to Hold on to Your Horses continues the adventures of Amy, but can be enjoyed as a stand alone story as well.

"I bet I can turn this tank into a longshoreman..." Their first job for their new employers is a glorified delivery run, and when things go predictably awry, Tagon's Toughs can honestly point at the mess they did not make and say "This was not our fault." As with any public mess, however, it only gets messier as it gets more public, and a celebrity journalist is looking to pin the blame on someone. Who better than the company of violent sociopaths charged with delivering the groceries?
