Earth's first and worst ambassador, Vega Ulysses, has freshly completed a tumultuous twelve year mission of galactic diplomacy, paid off his mortgage, and can finally return home to Earth. There's just one problem-- he lost his keys in space! Now, with his reluctant crew of outsiders in tow, Vega must retrace his steps, searching wild, diverse planets teeming with hostile aliens, silly robots and rude cosmic entities-- all forcing him to confront the havoc he has wreaked while haphazardly advancing Earth's selfish, consumerist agenda. A delirious take on sci-fi cartoons of the eighties, He Lost His Keys in Space reads like an entire animated series in a book. A darkly funny satire of the most ridiculed planet in the universe: Earth!
