Most cosmopolitan city in the universe, and a guy can't even get a freakin' sandwich.It should be the least of Izo's concerns. Afterall, he's already been kidnapped by aliens and dragged halfway across the galaxy so they can make a buck off his abilities. And sure, he knew being able to fly made him a little unique.

As he arrives on the Imperial Capital, IA, he's got one choice: cooperate with his captors so they'll get him back home, or split and head out on his own, taking his best shot at returning to Earth-a planet no one's ever heard of.It isn't much of a choice.
