The Intergalactic Nemesis edited by Madelyn Miller, the TravelLady  The year is 1933. Ben Wilcott has traveled back in time from 2096 to warn the world of an impending alien invasion. Ben solicits the help of Pulitzer Prize-winning reporter Molly Sloan and her assistant Timmy Mendez. Together they travel across the globe and ultimately to another galaxy to help save the world from sure doom. Along the way they battle the sinister mesmerist Mysterion, befriend the inhabitants of a Robot Planet, and confront the hideous sludge monsters from the planet Zygon. It's Star Wars meets Raiders of the Lost Ark with a little of Flash Gordon thrown in for good measure.
For ten years, The Intergalactic Nemesis has reached an extremely broad audience literally aged nine to 90, with Austin-based Salvage Vanguard Theater. The spectacle of The Intergalactic Nemesis lies in the power of the audience's imagination led by the transformative live sound effects. The show starts in a radio studio, but it’s not long before we’re all careening through outer space, following Molly’s adventures as she battles to save the galaxy from imminent destruction.

HAVE TO SAY ABOUT IT "More fun than I've had in a theatre in quite some time. If you haven't seen it ... what are you waiting for?" ¯ Barry Pineo, The Austin Chronicle
"With its pitch-perfect ear for period slang, roller-coaster pacing, and crackerjack comic cast, this spot-on spoof of old adventure serials rocketed me out of this world." — Robert Faires, The Austin Chronicle
