John Difool, a low-class detective in a degenerate dystopian world, finds his life turned upside down when he discovers an ancient, mystical artifact called The Incal. Difool's adventures will bring him into conflict with the galaxy's greatest warrior, the Metabaron, and will pit him against the awesome powers of the Technopope.

These encounters and many more make up a tale of comic and cosmic proportions that has Difool fighting for not only his very survival, but also the survival of the entire universe.

The Number of the Beast is a thrilling tale where two male and two female supremely sensual, unspeakably cerebral humans find themselves under attack from aliens. These extraterrestrials crave their awesome quantum breakthrough. In response, our protagonists take to the skies and zoom into the cosmos on a rocket roller coaster ride filled with adventure and danger, ecstasy and peril.

This novel is a homage to science fiction, celebrating the genre with references to other works and characters. It’s a parody and a lesson to anyone willing to listen, presented in a way only Robert A. Heinlein could.
