Nexus - Mike Baron

Nexus-AKA Horatio sets out with the gregarious warrior Judah Maccabee for a drinking man's tour of the galaxy. Well past the legal blood-alcohol limit for operating a spacecraft, the pair are sucked into a black hole! But instead of meeting their untimely end, they meet the Badger?! Meanwhile, back on the moon Ylum, the plot thickens with mysterious ruins, a coerced presidential election, and Ursula X. X. Imada's relentless espionage. The last thing this refugee population needs while Nexus is out of commission is the reappearance of mass murderer Claudius.
