    Smolif is an off-beat science fiction story set in a distant future and concerns the fortunes of Contra Marlo, a retired, alcoholic, security specialist. Contra takes care of people, at least he did before he dropped out and became a full-time drunk. That's how Mr. Mortis, a Braithwaite Corporation representative finds him -- inebriated in a Bangkok bar.Before Marlo can gather his senses, he's tricked into signing a contract employing his security services. The job is to go to one of the newest off-world colonies and rein in a rogue Braithwaite agent.According to the terms of the contract, prior to the trip Marlo is sent to a rehab clinic and then to a conditioning camp where he meets the other members of his team. Along the way, he learns more about Curtis, the renegade company agent, and a connection to a mysterious drug called smolif.It becomes apparent that more is going on than what Marlo has been told. Marlo must deal with his new-found sobriety, his inexperienced team members, and the lack of information about his mission -- as well as the dangers of an alien world and the man who would be king of that world.
