In the 24th century, Josuรฉ Valdรฉsโ rise from an orphan in the slums of Rubble City, Cuba to one of the galaxyโs most accomplished explorers was nothing short of meteoric. Josuรฉ used to race cockroaches for cash on the streets until he discovered his true-calling: as a sexual ambassador for humanity and the Nu Barsa colony.
Every so-called โcondomnautโ knows that trade deals in the galactic community depend on sexual pacts, which makes every encounter a close encounter. While some condomnauts have been trained and genetically enhanced to meet the needs of any tentacled insectoid in the galaxy, Josuรฉ is a natural whose ego could eclipse the big dipper. Josuรฉ and his fellow intrepid condomnauts travel light years across the galaxy and discover that old rivalriesโand prejudicesโare never far behind. When the first extragalactic beings arrive in the Milky Way, and with them the potential to negotiate for extraordinary new technologies, Josuรฉ must call upon every ounce of his talent to seal the deal for his colony and all of humanity.
Indirectly investigating current sexual mores, Cuban science fiction rock star Yoss plays upon stereotypes while making it clear that in Communist Cuba what is daring is not always funny and vice versa. Following the success of Super Extra Grande and A Planet for Rent, Yoss brings us another uproarious space adventure with Condomnauts, a wildly inventive and unapologetic tale that would make even Barbarella blush.
Praise for Super Extra Grande:
โIntergalactic space travel meets outrageous, biting satire in Super Extra Grandeโฆ. Its author [Yoss] is one of the most celebrated โ and controversial โ Cuban writers of science fictionโฆ. Reminiscent of Douglas Adams โ but even more so, the satire of Rabelais and Swift.โ
โNancy Hightower, The Washington Post
โA lighthearted space-opera adventure by Cuban author Yossโฆ. This novel’s madcap tone is very similar to Douglas Adams’โฆ. An exceptionally enjoyable comic tale set in a fully realized, firmly science-fictional universe.โ
