About<\/strong>\u00a0ARGENT STARR \u2014 Tales From the Archives<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The year: 2062. “They” have a plan for Earth and they’re not going to ask if we like it or not. Only one man on the planet, technopath\u00a0Argent Starr<\/strong>, half human, half alien, can deflect\u00a0the coming threat. His team; the ravishing badass commando Mrs. Thorne, and a trouble-making, brain-enhanced talking cat. The trio are swept into an off-world adventure pitting shape-shifters, alien gamblers, interstellar mobsters and a mysterious galaxy-controlling sect, against Argent’s hyper-tech powers of magic and super science.<\/p>\n

Chapter one follows Argent and company into the dead of night as they investigate the seemingly unconnected actions of a rogue super spy, and a couple of out-of-control aliens, all pursuing wildly different secret agendas on Earth.<\/p>\n

The sci-fi noir scenario of Argent Starr\u00a0is adult entertainment combining hard science, soft sex and satire, for the geeky and not-so-geeky masses; a\u00a0mix of action-adventure with elements of fantasy and comedy, featuring sabotage, assassins, sex, drugs, high-stake casinos, and espionage. Fans of properties such as\u00a0Farscape<\/em>,\u00a0The Adventures of Buckaroo Bonzai<\/em>,\u00a0Fifth Element<\/em>\u00a0and\u00a0Men In Black<\/em>\u00a0will enjoy this work.<\/p>\n

Three issues are currently completed and two more are in production. The story has a finished script for a run of at least 24 issues. Current plans are for bi-monthly releases.<\/p>\n
