An Officer and a Blob Summary
|
The story is set within the Spherical Dimension, which contains billions of realities within its 0.5 mm exterior. The story involves the crew of The Green Carnation, a battered space freighter from the rundown Rezer Merchant Fleet, and the backdrop is the ongoing war between the Hedar and Jerotta empires.
The Carnation is boarded by the Hedarian survivors of the final Hedar/Jerotta battle, in which the Hedar fleet has been destroyed by the Jerotta’s use of new cloaking technology. The Hedarians, commanded by Captain Byrne, forces The Carnation, commanded by Captain Joliffe, to transport them to the Jerotta home world where Byrne hope to take over the Jerotta council with a political/military coup. However, Byrne is almost broken by the years of fighting and before sinking into a helpless mental and physical lassitude, he gives the third officer, Skean, full powers to ensure that the mission succeeds. During the journey a number of difficulties have to be overcome, such as being challenged by a Jerotta warship which then mysteriously blows up, and more difficult still, obtaining a new flight permit from administration control. Can the attractive Schell evade the vile intentions of first officer Skean? Can the shape changing alien Radnar avoid being killed by the xenophobic Hedarians? The fight is on for the crew of The Carnation as they set off on a suicidal mission ... Will they live to tell the tale? Will they ever get home again? Most worrying for the shape changing Radnar; will his carnations survive? |
