Klawde

I AM WYSS-KUZZ, SUPREME EMPEROR OF PLANET LYTTYRBOKS!

I have been exiled from my home planet and sent 2900.4 million light years across space to the primitive hunk of rock called "Earth". As I bide my time and plot my revenge, I have recorded my glorious adventures so that all can marvel at my greatness.

Klawde: Evil Alien Warlord Cat #1

Klawde is not your average cat. He's an emperor from another planet, exiled to Earth. He's cruel. He's cunning. He's brilliant... and he's about to become Raj Banerjee's best friend. Whether he likes it or not.

Klawde had everything. Sharp claws. Fine fur. And, being the High Commander of the planet Lyttyrboks, an entire world of warlike cats at his command. But when he is stripped of his feline throne, he is sentenced to the worst possible punishment: exile to a small planet in a quiet corner of the universe... named Earth.

Raj had everything. A cool apartment in Brooklyn. Three friends who lived in his building. And pizza and comics within walking distance. But when his mom gets a job in Elba, Oregon, and he is forced to move, all of that changes. It's now the beginning of summer, he has no friends, and because of his mother's urgings, he has joined a nature camp.

It's only when his doorbell rings and he meets a furball of a cat that Raj begins to think maybe his luck is turning around...

Heavily illustrated, with a hilarious, biting voice that switches between Raj and Klawde's perspectives, this is the story of an unlikely friendship that emerges as two fish out of water begin to find their footing in strange new worlds.

And he has a plan to get it.

Meanwhile, as his evil pet plots world domination, Raj is also trying to make some extra cash. He's dying for a cool virtual-reality headset and is determined to get his yard-cleaning business off the ground to pay for it. But when a friendly neighbor catches wind of Klawde's plan, Raj and Klawde's stories collide, and Raj may end up paying for his cat's schemes...

Will Klawde's thirst for power finally be quenched? Can Raj bear the responsibility of a small business? And why are all the squirrels acting strange...?

So with Barx and Raj by his side, and enemies around every corner, Klawde begins the campaign of his life. Can he win enough hearts and minds to become . . . Emperor of the Universe?

What's more, plots to otherthrow him are rampant, and Klawde needs allies. Who can he turn to? Barx and the space rangers of the Dog Star Galaxy? (Hairball.) Ffangg and the other Allied Warlords of Evil? (Double hairball.) Or--least appealing of all--the Calico Queen, his former earthcat protege and current ruler Lyttyrboks? Meanwhile, Raj is trying to survive in an even more perilous group of enemies and allies: the students and parents of the Elba Middle School Newspaper Club.

RAJ

A young Human, approximately 11 Earth-years old. Easily fooled by my imitation of an Earth cat, Raj has taken me in as his pet and given me the name “Klawde." I. Am. NO. PET. But...Raj's occasional usefulness may yet be rewarded—after I conquer this pathetic excuse for a planet.

mom

"MOM"

An older, more powerful Human. She has threatened to turn me into a hat. I like her.

dad

Another adult Human, apparently some sort of tooth doctor. This one seeks to serve me and is the keeper of the catnip mice.

ffangg

My former second in command. This duplicitous traitor exiled me to Earth, but I vow to return to Lyttyrboks, reclaim my rightful place as ruler, and crush Ffangg for his treachery. You hear that Ffangg?! I will not be trapped here forever!

feline

EARTH FELINES

I have encountered several. At first, I thought their mindless meowing was a charade to confuse the humans. Unfortunately, Earth cats are all complete imbeciles!
