The Universe is watching. The race of all races is about to begin. And somehow…Earth has a team.
When Uncle Travis, a stubborn Kentucky farmer, and his eccentric family are whisked off their quiet farm by an alien named Gelt, they discover they’ve been drafted into the 350th Great Space Race—an intergalactic competition older than human history. The winners gain glory, riches, and cosmic influence. The losers? Nobody talks about them.
For centuries, Earth was considered too “ugly, smelly, and extremely stupid” to compete. But a loophole lets Gelt sneak in a human team. Now Travis, his fiddle-playing wife, Momma Daisy, his kids—Jasper, Billy Bubba, and Daisy Mae—and his cackling father, Pappy, must survive challenges that make NASCAR look like a Sunday drive.
They’ll battle rivals like the fanatical Zarm, the rock-star chaos of Kreeto Vistula and his band Mega Explosion, the scheming Space Mafia, and cultists who chant the chilling warning: “Mind the Flux.” Along the way, a prophetic frog, long-distance calls from Gelt's wife Kilda, and play-by-play announcers only add to the madness.
Part space opera, part razor-sharp satire, The Great Space Race: Mind the Flux is a comedy with heart, a parody with depth, and a wild interstellar ride like nothing you’ve ever read.
There’s only one way to find out. Strap in, hold on, and remember the words that echo across galaxies:
Mind the Flux.

Scott Patrick Bramble is from Annapolis, Maryland, and holds a master's degree in military history from Norwich University. He spent seven-and-a-half years in South Korea and China teaching ESL English, experiences that broadened his perspective and deepened his love of storytelling. A lifelong fan of science fiction-especially the original Star Wars trilogy, Star Trek, Planet of the Apes, Mad Max, and The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy-he has long dreamed of writing a story that combines epic adventure with sharp humor. The Great Space Race: Mind the Flux is his first book, a cosmic comedy born from years of imagining why the universe holds so many worlds, yet no proof of intelligent life. He believes that sometimes it takes both science fiction and satire to explore the biggest mysteries of existence.
