String Theory - E-book - ePub

Mike 'Bernie' Bern is an accident prone, imperfect copy of a deceased war hero just trying to get through his shift as a custodian on Albatross Station. Granted the station is a bit of a backwater but that's about to change.   When a visiting alien museum curator mistakes Bernie for a welcoming peer, he is thrown into the role of tour guide. Bernie reluctantly finds himself caught up in plots involving nefarious Earth Culture extremists, brawling gangs of physicists, greedy station officials and mysterious galactic powers.
At the center of them all is the Curator's prize; the World's Largest Ball of String. Bernie's attempt at heroics finds him adrift in space desperately trying to harness his unwanted talent for the improbable so he can rescue the Curator, save himself and prevent the station's destruction. String Theory is a humorous romp appealing to lovers of Science Fiction looking for something fun and engaging.
Readers of John Scalzi, Terry Pratchett or Barry Hutchinson will enjoy this first of the Albatross Station adventures.
