Chang Luis Sahari is the most celebrated food critic in the cosmos.
But the competition is always snapping at his heels.
Set 100 years in the future, Space Sushi follows a passionate food critic as he faces his hardest challenge yet. He is tasked by his employer to try a foreign delicacy, one unrivaled in taste but with the potential to kill him. The culinary wonder is poisonous and there is no known antidote. Death is guaranteed if the poison is digested, already it has claimed an impressive number of victims.
There are very few chefs who can prepare it with the meticulous care necessary to make it safely edible.
Chang's employer sends him to the universally renowned Chef Nikons restaurant to sample the notorious Ambrozian sea slug from the Andromeda galaxy.
Despite being in the care of a personal friend and a gastronomic legend who has prepared the dish fifteen times Chang still feels extremely nervous.
After all, it isn't every day that you sample a meal that could be your last.
