Oracular Operations - E-book - ePub

Earth, Space and the Human Race were transformed by the Wavefront, creating strange new worlds for astronomical distances in all directions. Lieutenant Commander Tommy "Ray" Gunn and his crew are members of the Deep Patrol, whose mission is to chart and catalogue the planets, cultures and artefacts they come across. This is no simple task; lurking out in space are weapons of unimaginable strength, creatures of hideous power and ideas that may be more dangerous than either.
Oracular Operations collects thirteen space opera stories of Gunn and his team. They confront the Grindlord in Partial City, a conurbation made up of pieces of buildings from throughout Earth's history. They fight dinosaurs, uncover the mysteries of fungus, track trolls through a mountain range, go to war against a rising psychic space empire. They confront doppelgangers that make a mockery of their very lives, and seek an oracle who can predict their every move.
Light-hearted adventure against an abyssally dark backdrop, Oracular Operations is exciting science fiction adventure with wit, charm a touch of bite.
