Description
In only the span of a year, Ozwald Bowens, successful Artifici-Flavorist, has lost his family to the calculated destruction of a manic Dr. Otis Zed of Border Patrol. Quickly learning that Zed is in frenzied search for the mysterious substance Onyx Oil, and it's hidden place under the Junction Zone of Pluto, Ozwald is joined by Alicia Turnup - his fellow co-worker and well-wishing friend - as the two embark on a painfully-long but wonderous journey into deep-Space where, arriving on Pluto, befriend a calculator, housekeeping android Hirashita. Together the trio challenge and encounter many Space obstacles, knock through Arcadian-Pluto's many dangers, and as one loosen the grip of Dr. Otis L. Zed, who all but wants this Onyx Oil to himself, for who knows what? Could their meek, unlikely trio - reimagining the same personalities of Dorothy, the Tin Woodman, and the Scarecrow in L. Frank Baum's "Wizard of Oz" - keep Zed from this Onyx Oil and pause the devastation which awaits the world, or must they surrender... leaving the City of Pyridoxine in the hands of Zed?
