    About this ebook

    A Thrilling Ray Gun Blast From The Past!

    In what might be the oddest literary pairing of all time, Gary K. Wolf, noted science fiction author and screenwriter, best known for creating the Roger Rabbit characters and Toontown, and John J. Myers, Catholic Archbishop of Newark, New Jersey have teamed up to co-write an action/adventure science fiction novel entitled Space Vulture. The book is an homage to Space Hawk, the first science fiction novel the two read as schoolboys.

    Gary and John grew up together in the small farm town of Earlville, Illinois. Gary's father ran the pool hall. John's father was the town milk man. Together they discovered the special thrills, the magic and wonder, that only science fiction and fantasy can offer. Half a century later, they are still best friends. They still love fantastic fiction and its ability to stretch the mind, enrich the spirit, and warm the heart.

    Determined to recapture the exhilarating science fiction of their youth, they transport us now to the far reaches of the galaxy. In their fast-paced new novel, heroic Marshal Victor Corsaire and cowardly con man Gil Terry join forces with a beautiful and courageous widow and her two young sons to battle Space Vulture, the most villainous marauder in the cosmos.

    Come along for the ride and discover all the adventure, suspense, action and fun that Gary and John first found in science fiction fifty years ago, and now share with you in this rollicking tale of the spaceways.

    Gary K. Wolf

    As the celebrated author of the novel Who Censored Roger Rabbit?, Gary K. Wolf gained fame when his literary vision of humans cohabitating with animated characters became a reality in the $750 million blockbuster Disney/Spielberg film Who Framed Roger Rabbit. The film won four Academy Awards and launched a multiple-picture screen writing deal for Wolf with Walt Disney Pictures. In addition, his ideas inspired Toontown, the newest themed land at Disneyland and Tokyo Disneyland. He is now a full time science fiction novelist and screenwriter.

      Gary Wolf Known best for his stories that were that became the movie "Who Killed Roger Rabit" and Archbishop Myers (Newark, New Jersey) grew up together in Illinois. They both had a passion for reading and loved the pulp fiction Sci Fi of the 40's and 50's. "Space Vulture" is the result of of that love of the old space operas of that era. If you read and enjoyed "Space Hawk", "Doc Savage", "Lucky Starr" or "John Grimes: Survey Captain" etc. you'll enjoy this.
