The Death & Life of Arturo Delgado

A suitcase full of alien diamonds… It's everything Arturo Delgado has always wanted.And it didn't come cheap.Art had once been the proprietor of one of Mexico's hottest up and coming bars until Max Dedge had flown in with some beautiful wizard and burned the place to the ground. Art's only option had been to follow Max from nation to nation, from world to world, until the debt was paid.And did Max pay it? No. He was off on some adventure to another world, a world with magic and aliens and a cave full of diamonds, which Max Dedge refused to share. The only alternative left to Art was to steal the diamonds for himself and run before Max Dedge could find him.Now, he's looking for a way to sell a suitcase full of alien diamonds and doing his best not to be traced. In Washington State, he stops at a little restaurant owned by Sue Jorgensen (future Queen of Space) and devises a plan that will leave him rich for life and show the great Max Dedge who came out on top.That's all that matters. Not the eggplant aliens coming to destroy the world. Not the pasty slaves who sound like they came out of a 1970s sitcom. Not the Queen of Space.All that matters now is a suitcase full of alien diamonds... and making Max Dedge pay.
