The Monster's Daughter — Goldeen Ogawa

In his multi-world travels with the mysterious Professor Odd, former university student Alister Bane has been to some terrific, and terrifying, places: a half-world on the brink of destruction, an alien planet which is actually a moon orbiting a gas giant orbiting a red dwarf star, a far-future Earth devoid of humanity, and a land ruled by dinosaurs and elves. He has never been to a world that frightened Professor Odd -- until now. Now he and the Professor and their companions -- Elo, the intelligent wolf, and Dave, the green tentacle monster -- are trapped in a world which, though apparently mundane, poses a great danger to all of them. For this is the Professor's home world, and it contains a force which threatens to end their adventures and destroy the Oddity. Their key to escape lies in a secret long buried in the Professor's shadowy past -- but in uncovering it, what else will be revealed? “The Monster's Daughter” is the sixth installment in Goldeen Ogawa's science fiction novella series Professor Odd, and serves as the finale for Season 1. A two-part episode, this issue includes both “The Detective” and “Subject 0-D.”
