Read by the author for his son, nephew, godson, and any child who needs a laugh.

It has been six months since the first freshman class of humans began at the new post-intergraded galactic military high school. Life comes at you fast, and the human girl Karel is trying to get her life back to normal with her shy, but gifted Nipon Alien boyfriend, Francis. The talented artistic Hankuk girl, Nichol, is now playing double role as Karel’s new housemate, and the muse of her athletic Zhongguo boyfriend, Kenny. It’s not all love and teenage romance here, as a new mystery quickly befalls the group. They will have to be fast, as another Detective Club at their school seems dead-set on stealing the spotlight. There’s a space cat too, but she’s less cool than the space dog. At least according to focus group of our space dog…named Space Dog. He was the only one willing to work for the fee we offered.

“Thucydides Galactic Imperial Military High School Detective and Mystery Club with a Space Dog: And a Space Cat Because, You Know, Sequels” is an upper middle grade, science fiction novel which is the second of the “Space Dog” trilogy. Yes, trying to pronouncing the name is part of the joke! It’s less funny when I have to explain it like that, dummy…

In the neon-colored capital planet of Chigu, the Detective and Mystery Club are facing their greatest threat yet: the Mystery and Detective Club! These new rivals will force our crew to fix their own personal issues, work together as a team, and maybe discover that no one is what they seem on the surface. Love, intrigue, mystery, and space cats! What more could you ask for! Oh, and homework too. These empires are not going to conquer the stars by themselves, after all!
