SUMMARY:🍆 🌮 🇨🇺 Condomnauts 🍆 🌮 🇨🇺 - Yoss - ONE NIGH
 T ONLY
DESCRIPTION:Set a course for intercourse with this raucous space opera from
  Yoss\, “Cuba's premiere science-fiction writer” (VICE)\, where humans
  explore the limits of the Milky Way—and their libidos.\n\nAMAZON PAPERB

 ABEBOOKS 2nd HAND\nhttp://bit.ly/2OZUX4a\n\nIn the 24th century\, Josué V
 aldés’ rise from an orphan in the slums of Rubble City\, Cuba to one of
  the galaxy’s most accomplished explorers was nothing short of meteoric.
  Josué used to race cockroaches for cash on the streets until he discover
 ed his true-calling: as a sexual ambassador for humanity and the Nu Barsa 
 colony.\n\nEvery so-called “condomnaut” 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\, Josu
 é is a natural whose ego could eclipse the big dipper. Josué and his fel
 low intrepid condomnauts travel light years across the galaxy and discover
  that old rivalries—and prejudices—are never far behind. When the firs
 t extragalactic beings arrive in the Milky Way\, and with them the potenti
 al to negotiate for extraordinary new technologies\, Josué must call upon
  every ounce of his talent to seal the deal for his colony and all of huma
 nity.\nIndirectly investigating current sexual mores\, Cuban science ficti
 on rock star Yoss plays upon stereotypes while making it clear that in Com
 munist Cuba what is daring is not always funny and vice versa. Following t
 he success of Super Extra Grande and A Planet for Rent\, Yoss brings us an
 other uproarious space adventure with Condomnauts\, a wildly inventive and
  unapologetic tale that would make even Barbarella blush.\n\nPraise for Su
 per Extra Grande:\n\n“Intergalactic space travel meets outrageous\, biti
 ng satire in Super Extra Grande…. Its author [Yoss] is one of the most c
 elebrated — and controversial — Cuban writers of science fiction…. R
 eminiscent of Douglas Adams — but even more so\, the satire of Rabelais 
 and Swift.”\n—Nancy Hightower\, The Washington Post\n\n“A lightheart
 ed space-opera adventure by Cuban author Yoss…. This novel's madcap tone
  is very similar to Douglas Adams'…. An exceptionally enjoyable comic ta
 le set in a fully realized\, firmly science-fictional universe.”\n—Kir
