Publisher's Synopsis
The worst people of Earth are humanity's only hope.
Six American elitists find their space excursion cut short when their spacecraft, a glaring symbol of wealth and privilege called Piranha X, gets lost and stranded in deep space. Its passengers, some of Earth's worst humans, find themselves without help or hope on an alien space station they never knew existed, forced to work together to do the impossible and find a way back to Earth.
Russel Cane is an A-list actor whose body of work is outweighed only by his ego. Carole Dahl is a recording artist on top of the charts and the world. Elton Bowers is a tech billionaire who thinks the universe owes him more than what he's already gotten. Nilla Shake is a white rapper with a penchant for missing the point. Jamie James is a social media influencer lost without her connection to her various outlets. Reagan Eaton is the youngest passenger of Piranha X and the son of a prestigious Republican Senator. Rounding out the spacecraft's manifest is Eden Seventeen, a sexual companion android who has no compunction about killing her human compatriots to save them from their various predicaments.
Together, these six humans and android must save Earth from impending doom based upon their combined actions after they've pissed off galaxies' worth of reptilian fascist overlords, googly-eyed chop shop owners, intergalactic loan sharks, space bugs with a taste for human flesh, and everything else the universe can throw at them. With everyone in the universe coming for their home planet, it's a race against time and the galactic police force. If they ever want to go home again, they're going to have to make sure it's still in one piece when they get there. Because if it's one thing the rest of the universe knows for sure, it's that humans are trash.
Daniel Aegan pens a raucous space voyage into the realm of comedic sci-fi that lampoons Earth's wealthiest in a parody mimicking real life. Taking place in an uncertain future with a predictable class of people, Humans Are Trash reflects real life while painting an outlandish picture of the universe at large. Even if humans are as bad as the rest of the universe thinks they are, there can always be someone worse.
