Step right up, step right up! Just below the paywall, you will find wonders you can scarcely comprehend: spies cursed with unimaginable cosmic energies; space-truckers caught in the sadistic games of pan-galactic empires; sea mammals trying weed for the first time and getting absolutely blazed; Lovecraftian horrors clawing their way out of experimental teleport machines! Prepare for thrills, spills and chills in the long-awaited sequel to Agent of Nowhere! In this instalment, we join one Valec Blank, easy-going interstellar haulage technician, as he charts a course across the Tethan Worlds. His only goal is to deliver white goods to the far end of the galaxy, but when he’s interrupted by a teleporting Mermaid who’s mistaken him for a hero of legend, he finds himself a pawn in a clandestine game played for the highest stakes. The Tethan Unified Worlds are about to make contact with the greatest and most powerful civilisation in the known universe, the Zagatherian Monolect, and that can only end one way: a war of conquest nobody can afford! Behind the scenes, Ketarch Astropoles, (gentleman spy and part-time superbeing) is labouring tirelessly to stop the coming conflagration… but he’s starting to realise it may not be the universe’s biggest problem. It looks like the teleport technology used by a certain world-hopping Mermaid has been suborned by occult forces and now things that want peel mortals and drink their souls are slithering into a woefully unprepared universe. Can Valec, Ketarch and Ketarch’s increasingly unstable Vampire wife Eshlia work together long enough to stop a war and halt an incursion of eldritch abominations, or will two civilisations fall into eternal ruin and silence? The answer can be yours for the low, low price of a paid subscription, so upgrade today and dive into Black Sun Pilot!
