Description:

Searching for a place to hide after uncovering a treacherous conspiracy among her people, Timantiel Tuvielstytar ya Suku Lohihuya (Kilni for short) instead stumbles into the Oddity, interrupting Professor Odd and her companions’ day at the beach—much to Alister Bane’s chagrin. For Kilni brings with her a troubling tale, which Professor Odd is, of course, bent on investigating. This leads them on a quest that reaches across the marvelous world of Geda; where the descendants of dinosaurs live side-by-side with the elf-like Luinisetians, and in conflict with the mysterious orka. But when they dig into Geda’s history, they find the truth is far more deep and disturbing: now a city is in danger, and the orka are their best hope for saving the elves and dinosaurs alike.

“The Dragons of Geda” is the fifth installment in Goldeen Ogawa’s sci-fi novella series chronicling the adventures of Professor Odd and her wayward companions—former student Alister Bane, anthropomorphic wolf Elo Marhütz, and Dave, the green tentacle monster.

What do you do when the supernatural world crashes, horribly and violently, into yours? Well, if you’re Jill Hamilton, you hire yourself a couple of hard-bitten, demon-hunting, monster-killing bodyguards, get in your dead boyfriend’s giant truck, and you go out and study it.

Driving Arcana: Rotation One introduces us to former grad student Jill Hamilton and her bodyguards—the stoic, sword-wielding, motorcycle-riding Clara Nordstern and the tough-as-nails, gun-toting Selene Shields—as they encounter a bloody attack of rabid chimeras, a herd of unicorns bent on revenge, and a sinister invasion from beyond the borders of our world.

In a universe much like our own, Professor Alister Bane lives a quiet life as an archeologist at Oxford University. But when a nearby excavation triggers a psychotic episode in one of his colleagues, Professor Bane finds himself tumbling down a rabbit hole of strange phenomena and frightening possibilities. Having to contend with a slew of disappearing interns and his own terrifying hallucinations, Alister Bane finds his mind—and his whole world—unraveling even as he searches for a solution. It all comes down to half-forgotten memories, a madman’s allusion to the thing with “terrible arms” and a nightmare of being trapped in a cold, dark place. But when he finds the answer, it is something beyond even his wildest dreams.

“The Elder Machine” is the fourth installment in Goldeen Ogawa’s sci-fi novella series chronicling the adventures of Professor Odd—and in this case, Professor Bane as well. It first appeared in Apsis Fiction 1.2: Perihelion 2014.

Meet Alister Bane, former college student. He is a sensible, conventional, practical young man.

Since being expelled from his home world, Alister has been traveling between universes with the flamboyant and inquisitive Professor Odd, Dave, a green tentacle monster, and Elo, a highly intelligent mutant wolf. Now, however, he has been separated from his friends and is forced to navigate an “unconventional” universe teetering on the brink of destruction. Impossible stone formations aside, there is also the problem of the sinister hooded natives, and why they have got a living man chained to a rock…

In the end it is up to her to solve the greatest mystery of them all: that of Bouragner Felpz himself.
