Description
Carmody's dreams of a comfortable life are shattered when he wins the grand prize in the Intergalactic Sweepstake, a dubious honor that sends him on an unexpected and chaotic journey home. Navigating a universe teeming with bizarre parallel worlds and hilariously incompetent cosmic bureaucrats, Carmody must rely on his wits to survive. Along the way, he encounters a cast of unforgettable characters, including a talking dinosaur, as he desperately tries to find his way back to Earth. This madcap cosmic farce explores themes of bureaucracy, the absurdity of existence, and the universal desire for home, all delivered with Sheckley's signature blend of sharp satire and inventive science fiction.
