Hi. Besh is the MC in The Space Bum series, which includes The Space Bum, The Old Man, and Htohmar Har. In his youth, he was a pilot for the Consortium, but was imprisoned on trumped up charges. He and his friend, Cosmo, were imprisoned on Miner's Moon, where no one ever escaped. He and his friend escaped. Besh lost track of Cosmo and spent years thumbing through space looking for him.
Besh is a quiet man, friendly and helpful. He makes friends easily, and he has a penchant for serendipity, which is basically being at the right place at the right time. The story of Besh begins in his mid-forties, continues in The Old Man in extreme dotage (and possessed by an alien entity,) and comes full circle in Htohmar Har with renewed youth. It might be said that Besh is an ordinary man in extraordinary circumstances.
