When Captain Aaron Barclay of the Scavenger receives an s.o.s. message from his long lost sister, he takes to the skies to mount a rescue that will transport him and his crew to the far corners of dimensional space to Encounter horrors undreamed of. Accompanying him are his scatter-gun toting wife, A Beautiful blond simulacrum navigator, an angry albino Pleiadian, a clone with a taste for vanilla pudding, and his security officer whose four eye-stalks are always on the lookout for trouble.
