The Devilsgate Sagaby Denise Felt
Fish out of water stories are my favorite kind. So when I considered how Commander Straker would handle being tossed into the Georgian era -- complete with lace jabots, high-heeled shoes, and embroidered waistcoats -- this series was born. It was originally slated for just one story, but as happens sometimes, the characters decided to stay a while and keep it going. This saga is finished for now, but I may find myself revisiting Devilsgate occasionally whenever I feel the need to check on Straker and Louise. 1. Out of Time When the aliens devise a way to make the commander disappear, they find that he's harder to get rid of than they thought. 2. Just in Time With Commander Straker out of the way, the aliens try to take out SHADO HQ. 3. Never Enough Time While Commander Davenport studies the alien ship, interesting developments occur in Devilsgate. 4. Trips Through Time While SHADO deals with a missing UFO, Straker consults with the head of the Geological Society about iridium. 5. Circles of Time Commander Davenport learns more about what his predecessor faced in the past, while Straker finds that even weddings aren't immune to interruptions. 6. Lines in Time Straker writes a letter to an old friend. |
Special thanks to Louise Oatridge for the wonderful sketch of Commander Straker in Georgian England.
