The galaxy is wrecked—a cocktail of warlords, pirates, and tinpot dictators, stirred to a frenzy by an alcoholic former prophet. Take a sip and get wasted.
Billy used to hear the voice of the Creator, and that didn't work out so great. OK. If we're being honest, he led the galaxy to total ruin. When a new prophet comes calling, Billy and his Fuq Bot pal Dust, set out to save what's left of the galaxy.
Billy Bane is a prophet who got it all wrong, and the galaxy has been burning ever since. All he wants is to waste away in the darkest corner of space with his best pal Dust, a supercharged Fuq bot. But when a new prophet comes calling, Billy is summoned to save the galaxy he's at least partially responsible for destroying.
Too bad he couldn't care less.
It comes down to this: Billy, Dust, and Molly are in deep s**t—deeper than normal, though. They've got one shot to discover the location of the Creator, but an army of killer robots and old rich dudes stand in their way. It all leads to a shocking conclusion involving the return of a giant red god-thingy. Ya know the one.
