1-800-Starship - Paperback

CALL NOW. BECOME A NOVA SLINGER TODAY.

Those are the words Mark Allen reads inside an old 80s comic book buried in the back of his uncle's retro 80s arcade.

Between playing Galaga and Pac-Man, he decides to pick up the phone and give it a call, only to discover that the number still works.

It doesn't take long before an old man shows up at his doorstep, dressed in strange clothes, driving a Delorean, and calling himself "The Recruiter". Mark thinks he's won a prize from some old contest... but the reality is far stranger.

The old man has come to take Mark to a faraway space station-to train him for an impossible fight against an enemy that threatens everything.

Because, as it turns out, the comic book is real. And so is the war.

Now, Mark enters a galaxy full of countless species and alien cultures, and each of them has somehow heard of Pretty in Pink, The Goonies, and Star Wars. When and how did Earth's culture find its way to the rest of the galaxy? And why did it all stop in the late 1980s?

Adventure is calling. Join the fight and save the universe today!

From the author of Backyard Starship comes a brand new adventure filled with aliens, arcades, and starships. Thrilling, insanely fun, and full of engrossing characters, 1-800-STARSHIP keeps its eyes on the future and its heart in the past.
