George the DragonSlayer and His Friends. Book I, On Earth

by Lucy Badalian

An avalanche of strange events besets Angerka and Pforia, two neighboring countries. It all starts with the flying pig. Then the singing fish disappear without as much as leaving a note. That night a milky rain showers Angerkville. More outlandish events follow at an accelerated pace. The Angerkans, desperate for answers, tune in to talk shows, attend academic seminars. Nothing helps. Amidst the chaos, Dr-Lucy, a physicist turned rock star, visits Angerka and dazzles audiences with the wonders of the universe. The Angerkan military brass, hoping to filch a technology or two, flocks to the show. Cosmic disaster strikes On Earth is Book One of the George the Dragonslayer and His Friends. The series is based on modern science - mere magic pales next to it. Our heroes, 2 teenage boys and a girl, accompanied by a host of strange and appealing creatures, fight against powerful villains, and at the eleventh hour win. They use no wizardry, but rather their mastery of potent physical forces and phenomena.

it was created by Besy the Galactic Cow! :-)

my guest (after the Heterodox Economics Conference) Lucy Badalian authored the wonderful book.

(No, this book I did not manage to work into my thesis, but it was a wonderfully entertaining break from academic work! -Thanks Lucy!)

Read, Write, Dream, Teach !
