He lives over a pizza restaurant, he's lost his girlfriend, and has no prospects for a career.Then he's abducted by an alien robot and taken across the galaxy. When he wakes up, he finds himself stranded thousands of light-years away and about to be killed by space pirates.Charlie's only hope of getting through this is learning to work with his fellow a green-skinned warrior woman, a feathered con man who is just as likely to steal their starship as he is to save them, and a cyborg insectoid pilot who could rip a man apart with ease... if he wasn't a strict pacifist.To make matters worse, they were abducted for a reason - one that aims to change the course of the Galaxy forever.
