Jupiter's Edge: A Political Sci-Fi ParodySometimes the greatest fight is to discover ourselves...

In the year 2247, Cosmic Law Force Detectant Maxo Magnaveer yearns for the promotion that will validate his twenty years of service. His chance arrives when flamboyant space pirate Colonel Zaza D'Rump—complete with orange complexion, peculiar hair, and promises to "Make Mars Great Again"—hijacks a vital food shipment bound for Martian colonists.

As D'Rump threatens millions with starvation unless he's given control of Earth's shipping lanes, Maxo commandeers a vessel and races toward Jupiter's Edge, where the narcissistic colonel operates from his secret base, Porto Blago.

This sci-fi parody delivers a high-stakes interplanetary pursuit where Maxo discovers:

  • Allies with hidden agendas and corrupt officials blocking justice

    The universe's most pompous villain broadcasting propaganda via "Porto Blago News"

    That his quest for career advancement might be masking his search for genuine purpose


    This character-driven satirical adventure offers:


    • Sharp political parody wrapped in thrilling space battles

      Humor and social commentary alongside genuine heart

      A journey of self-discovery that challenges our obsession with external validation


      Perfect for fans who enjoy
      The Expanse, Firefly, and science fiction that blends action with biting social critique. Will Maxo survive the showdown at Jupiter's Edge—and finally discover what truly matters?
