A science fiction comedy along the lines of Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, Further Into The Future! is the story of a scientist, Professor John Bedford, who travels from 1949 to 2099 and becomes involved in a power struggle between two American dictators. Hammer, the dictator for thirty years, is overthrown in a coup by his handsome young protégé Cold Steel, known for using baseball metaphors in his speeches. The Professor expects a hero's welcome but instead he is ignored due to the civil strife and an uninterested populace. Eventually, a struggling rock band called the Time Travelers adopts him so he can perform in their show. Their rivals, the Corrupt Cops, steal their band equipment and the Professor's time machine, so the Time Travelers team up with other victimized bands to break into the Corrupt Cops' fortress and take back their possessions. If they succeed, they can compete in the American Rock Star contest for the honor of performing in the World Heritage Festival with cultural representatives from America's dictatorial allies. But Cold Steel is allied with the Corrupt Cops, so victory is impossible unless they find a way to put rather senile Hammer back in power.

Two jokester smugglers escape the clutch of a mob boss only to crash on a world under siege. Can they find the courage to join the resistance and break the blockade? Jack Forrest is a reckless fighter pilot who's too focused on making 'your mom' jokes. Sujay Malak is a brilliant but cowardly astro-navigator. The two men are the galaxy's most renowned 'blockade runners,' smugglers who're capable of outrunning any Core fleet. The dynamic duo are being hunted by the nefarious mobster Kingsman for their outstanding debts, but due to a tip, the two men race off to the peaceful world Alcyone. When they arrive, Alcyone is not as it seems. Normally a sanctuary for pacifists and pristine beauty, the planet is being held under siege. Forrest and Sujay are attacked by a fleet of Core fighters and while they manage to escape, they crash land deep in the frozen north. They're rescued by the leader of the resistance, a fellow smuggler named Tim Riley. Riley implores the two to join in his cause, promising them riches beyond their wildest dreams, but there is something unsettling about the quiet paradise. The two men must discover the courage to stand up for the little guy...and that they may not get rich in the process. This fast-paced, hilarious tale of misadventure was written in the spirit of Alexander Freed's Rogue One: A Star Wars Story and Timothy Zahn's Star Wars: Scoundrels.
