Major League Chew

Mike Applebee has finally got what he has wanted since meeting Tony Chu, Tony has been fired! Reassigned to a traffic cop, Tony is surprised to find that he absolutely loves it, especially his new boss who is the complete opposite of Applebee. However, while on a normal work day Tony finds himself kidnapped by a group of sports fans who have dreams of their own. They want to write a book about the sordid secrets of famous baseball players who have died, and they need Tony’s help!

Life isn’t just falling apart for Tony, as John has been transferred to the USDA to be teamed up with a cyborg lion. Additionally, Olive has also been kidnapped, though not for the same nefarious reasons as Tony. With no one able to help, it’s down to Amelia to get to the bottom of where Tony is, and how she can help him escape.

This volume continues the crazy adventures of Tony Chu, and his friends as they navigate the crazy world, including the planting of seeds that will pay off in future volumes.
