Overview

Discover the origins of the classic rivalry between Spike and Vicious amongst the dark underbelly of Mars, 2061, in this prequel novel to the upcoming Netflix series Cowboy Bebop.

The year is 2061. The Red Dragon Crime Syndicate is king, and for all those lucky enough to be members of this crime family, life is damn good.

Well, not for everyone ... For two entry-level gangsters in Tharsis City, Mars, life in the Syndicate isn't quite all guns and glamour. That's right. Long before they were mortal enemies, Spike Spiegel and Vicious were just two friends clawing their way up the crime ladder and trying to have a little fun while doing it.

But when an opportunity to pull a job for their boss arises, it's make-or-break time. Literally. All they have to do is deliver a suitcase. How hard could it be?

You ready for some history tellin' ... space cowboy?


Editorial Reviews

From the Publisher

"A good read–and consider it a must-read for Cowboy Bebop fans and anyone looking for an Altered Carbon or Firefly-type space Western setting" Borg.com

JANUARY 2022 - AudioFile

Pun Bandhu narrates a prequel that explores the relationship between two characters in “Cowboy Bebop,” a Japanese anime TV series. Fearless Spike and Vicious, low-level members of the Red Dragon crime syndicate, are unsure about how to move up in the ranks. When a deal goes bad, they quickly learn exactly where they stand in the organization. Bandhu overcomes stilted dialogue and a leaden plot to bring flat characters to life. His performance balances out the unevenly paced story as Fearless and Vicious meet the demands of being lackeys of the Red Dragon gang. Bandhu’s strong theater background helps the frequent onomatopoeic language to become a seamless part of the story rather than a distraction. K.M.P. © AudioFile 2022, Portland, Maine
