The False Student

Professor Odd #1

by Goldeen Ogawa

University student Alister Bane is a neat, tidy, ordinary person living a neat, tidy, ordinary life. But all this changes when the flamboyant, other-worldly, and extraordinary Professor Odd waltzes into class and turns his world inside out. Suddenly Alister is thrown into the middle of a cat-and-mouse game between the Professor and alien tentacle monster, while a shadowy group of scientists tries to capture them all.

Can Alister convince them that he is only a hapless bystander? Can life ever return to normal?

One thing is for things are going to get a little bit odd.

"Professor The False Student" is the first in a new series of short sci-fi action-adventure novellas from writer and artist Goldeen Ogawa.

Reviews

[Ben Goodridge · Rating 4 out of 5]

One of the great things about being a sort-of career insider is getting my hands on stories that fall way outside the mainstream and are written as a labor of love, as opposed to filling the ledgers of some publishing company bean counter.

So it is with "Professor Odd," a Doctor Who pastiche/tribute carved out of its own medium. After a wink and a nod to its inspiration, "The False Student" shakes your expectations. Besides, it has a talking dog. You NEED a talking dog.

Oh. Sorry. "Vroknaär."
