The Intergalactic Nemesis

Book One: Target Earth

The year is 1933. Are you ready for the adventure?

Pulitzer Prize-winning reporter Molly Sloan and her intrepid research assistant Timmy Mendez team up with a mysterious librarian from Flagstaff, Ariz., named Ben Wilcott. Together, they travel from Earth into the universe to defeat a terrible threat to the very future of humanity: an invading force of sludge-monsters from outer space known as the Zygonians. The Intergalactic Nemesis is an uproarious and nostalgic look back at the glory days of radio plays, but with a twist. The show combines the tour-deforce voice work of a cast of three actors, live sound effects, a live musical score, and the visual spectacle of more than 1,250 individual, hand-drawn, full-color comic book images blown up to two stories high. This incredible production will bring out the 12-year-old in you and leave you smiling for days.

Recommended for ages seven and older.
