Description:

Arms Division Ranger Omu Akit, a steadfast dog, would never question a mission. Not when thrown onto a deserted island with only a nervous Science Division Tech to lead them to the secret objective. Not even when their team Alpha is injured and he must take command of the disparate team of dogs—including the nervous Tech and a Medic with an agenda of her own.

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.

Description:

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.

Description:

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.

Description:

Meet Alister Bane, former college student. He is a sensible, conventional, practical young man. Not at all the sort of person you’d expect to find clambering around, in the rain, on a huge stone lightning bolt hanging in the sky. Yet here he is. 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…

 “The Promethean Predicament” is the third in a series of novellas chronicling the fantastic travels of Professor Odd and her wayward companions. It first appeared in Apsis Fiction Volume 1, Issue 1: Mesohelion 2013.

Together they travel the multi-verse in the Professor’s trans-dimensional ship, the Oddity, and Alister is brought along for the ride.

This time the Professor is in quest of good pizza and takes them to the strange world of Niatano, where the sun is red, the people are feathered dinosaurs, and everyone speaks Italian. Oh, and they are in danger of being killed by robots from outer space. No one is getting any pizza until that is taken care of…

“Professor Odd: The Slowly Dying Planet” was first published in 2011 by Goldeen Ogawa. Now Heliopause Productions is proud to re-release it with a redesigned cover but the same great interior. It is the second in a series of short sci-fi novellas chronicling the adventures of Professor Odd.
