About the Book

Sharkey and the Space Pirates is a futuristic science fiction mystery story with a touch of comedy. An odd but loveable quartet of space travelers roam the galaxy, trying to save it from wholesale destruction. Their adventures lead them to many strange and wonderful places and to some very weird and dangerous situations. The reader will be exposed to a new realm of theoretical physics, interwoven with classical physics, in an easily understood format. The reader will learn a completely new vocabulary which will become a second language when he or she finishes the book. The story is full of hidden meanings as well as code numbers that have specific meanings. It stimulates the mind and offers a different twist in the science fiction world.
