In simpler terms: he's been forced to help humanity. Against his will. With a self-help book.

Grand Theft Spaceman
In the FAR-FLUNG FUTURE OF THE 64th CENTURY, the free use of SPACE has been OUTLAWED! It has been many years since the GREAT SPACE WAR between the COMMONWEALTH OF SYSTEMS and the COSMIC STAR EMPIRE ended in a tenuous ceasefire, with the EMPIRE given complete authority over regulating all space travel in the galaxy. Now, the EMPIRE has tightened its grip, effectively banning any space travel outright for all but the most privileged of the EMPIRE's citizens. No more SPACE EXPLORING, no more SPACE MINING, no more SPACE PIRACY, and most of all... no more FLIPPIN' SWEET SPACE BATTLES! How bogus is that? But even the ironclad laws of a monolithic, galaxy-spanning empire cannot stop a budding rebellion that believes SPACE IS FOR EVERYONE, nor are they any match for the long-prophesized return of the enigmatic SPACE MASTER. He is the SPACEMAN, and this is his SPACE STORY...

I Don't Seem So Bright in a Well-Lit Room
"This book speaks to anyone with a neurodivergent brain, that may feel like an alien here on earth. I swear Browning made me laugh and cry and question reality...sometimes all in the same sentence." -JD Todd, author The universe is a very strange place. It will take even stranger heroes to save it. Potto is dim-witted, extremely forgetful and incredibly naïve. He wasn't always this way. Aye-Aye is devilishly shrewd and has boozed his way into a comfortable existence of incompetence and sleaze. How they ended up being two of the most wanted aliens in the galaxy is anyone's guess. Chased down by every oddball bounty hunter in the known universe, and befriended by a libidinous assassin, a fire-breathing reptilian, and a telepathic tree, their misadventures take them past Earth (the mall planet), to a floating sex circus, a planet of killer stuffed animals, an underground spaceship impound lot, and to a planet of reasonably priced bungalows. All while flying around in a ship powered by the brain waves of a psycho killer. A great prophecy proclaims that only "one of light, and one of dark" can save the universe from the dictatorship of The Node. That can't be Potto and Aye...Potto doesn't know what the word prophecy means, and neither know how to spell it. Part sci-fi epic, part absurd dark comedy, I Don't Seem So Bright in a Well-Lit Room is a comment on human behavior, depression, anxiety, and self-esteem. But way more fun than that sounds. So, do up your space seatbelts...it's going to be a bumpy ride. Despite the lack of potholes in space. (Sci-fi /Dark Humour/Absurd) *Completed! Enjoy!
