Description:

Alister Bane, erstwhile university student turned multiversal traveler, has had his fair share of life-or-death adventures since joining the extraordinary Professor Odd aboard her dimension-hopping ship. This time, she insists, it will be different. This time, they are going to a world as peculiar as the Professor, where even Elo, the bipedal talking wolf, doesn’t need a disguise. And what are they doing in this world? They are going to enjoy dinner and a show.

Specifically, dinner at a sushi bar served by an octopus-man, and music performed by sentient robots and a singer with fantastical fashion sense. But as the Professor regales them with a tale from her distant past, it becomes clear there is a deep connection between Professor Odd and the pop star on stage, with business that has been left unfinished for far too long.

“The Thousand Songs” is the tenth episode in the fantastic adventures of Professor Odd and her cohort: Elo the mutant wolf, Alister the misplaced university student, and Dave, the bright green tentacle creature.

Description:

It’s all well and good to use your space-manipulating oddity of a home to open a portal into a starship for a little innocent nebula-gazing, but when the crew of said ship catches you things can get awkward fast.

This is the problem encountered by Professor Odd and her friends, which turns out to be the first in a string of problems including, but not limited to: what is this ship even doing here? (It is in the wrong universe.) Are those giant space humanoids peaceful, or actually weapons of absolute destruction? (The answer is yes.) And last but not least: how is everyone going to get home? But Professor Odd has yet to leave a problem unsolved, and she’s not about to start now—even if it means risking her own life.

“Star Walkers” is the ninth episode in the fantastic adventures of Professor Odd, multiversal traveler extraordinaire, and her cohort: Elo the mutant wolf, Alister the misplaced university student, and Dave, the bright green tentacle creature.

  • Paperback available from: Amazon, Barnes & Noble, direct via Create Space and your local bookstore!

Description:

Asynchronous time travel is a tricky thing. Some universes are flexible enough to maintain various timelines without collapsing into paradoxical situations. Others get around the problem by not allowing it to happen at all.

But when Professor Odd and her crew visit one of these “temporally rigid” worlds they discover someone has been messing about in both the past and the future. What began as a piece of cake turned inexplicably to pie turns out to be a tremor from a catastrophe that occurred outside of conventional time—sending the universe into spiral of self-destruction.

Tumbled together with a mysterious boy and his time-traveling blue horse, Odd, Alister, Elo and Dave find themselves on an adventure across the eons to the far distant future. And to avert the impending destruction of the universe they must step outside time and space altogether.

Luckily, Professor Odd has just the thing for that…

“Chronostrophe” is the eighth episode in the serial adventures of Professor Odd, multiversal traveler extraordinaire, and her cohort: Elo the mutant wolf, Alister the misplaced university student, and Dave, the bright green tentacle creature.

Then an honest-to-human, mind-reading wolf appears on the scene, along with a not-a-human asking questions that reveal a conspiracy that shakes the foundations of canine society. Ranger Omu always knew it was better not to ask questions. Too late for that now.

“The Dogs of Canary Island,” the seventh installment in the Professor Odd series, follows the adventures of the universe-hopping Professor and her companions Alister, Elo and Dave. And in this case, seven cybernetically enhanced, anthropomorphic dogs.

In his multi-world travels with the mysterious Professor Odd, former university student Alister Bane has been to some terrific, and terrifying, places: a half-world on the brink of destruction, an alien planet which is actually a moon orbiting a gas giant orbiting a red dwarf star, a far-future Earth devoid of humanity, and a land ruled by dinosaurs and elves. He has never been to a world that frightened Professor Odd—until now.

Now he and the Professor and their companions—Elo, the intelligent wolf, and Dave, the green tentacle monster—are trapped in a world which, though apparently mundane, poses a great danger to all of them. For this is the Professor’s home world, and it contains a force which threatens to end their adventures and destroy the Oddity. Their key to escape lies in a secret long buried in the Professor’s shadowy past—but in uncovering it, what else will be revealed?

“The Monster’s Daughter” is the sixth installment in Goldeen Ogawa’s science fiction novella series Professor Odd, and serves as the finale for Season 1. A two-part episode, this issue includes both  “The Detective” and “Subject 0-D.”

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.

In a universe much like our own, Professor Alister Bane lives a quiet life as an archeologist at Oxford University.

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.

But when he finds the answer, it is something beyond even his wildest dreams.

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…
