Four friends-Dave, Eddie, Jimmy, and Chuck-are fed up with their boring lives. So when Eddie builds a personal interstellar space craft, the obvious thing is to go somewhere. Little do the guys know that simply going somewhere is never quite that easy. The galaxy is a big place, full of complex worlds, people of ill repute, and unexpected events popping up at the wrong time.

Join our woefully underprepared friends as they try desperately to get to the tourist world known as Paradise. Climb aboard Liberty, Eddie''s oddly shaped but perfectly functional ship, and share in their pains and joys as they press on to their goal and maybe learn a bit about themselves along the way. You deserve a break, too, and what better way to do so than to spend time with four misfits who clearly need help?

Chuck says to bring coffee when you meet them at the spaceport-don''t forget!

FOUR FRIENDS

ONE SECRET

NO CLUE

Following their wild maiden voyage aboard Liberty and their impulsive purchase of an abandoned resort city, Dave, Eddie, Jimmy, and Chuck haphazardly embark on a new adventure.

Jimmy buys a mysterious box from a small, unassuming antique shop. When he finally gets it open, the secrets it contains will pull him and his friends into a galaxy-spanning hunt for answers and, hopefully, treasure. All Jimmy wants is a few pots of gold.

But the guys are not the only ones interested in the box and its mesmerising contents. A wealthy collector is on their tail-he cares less about treasure and wants more than just answers.

What''s in the box? Why are four hopeless treasure hunters scouring the galaxy to unlock its secrets? Who is their pursuer, why is he after Jimmy''s bargain box, and what tricks will he play to get what he wants?
