Cheshire Cat Charlatan: Chronicles of Tri-Galactic Trek

What do you do when an all-powerful being decides you're the most interesting cat in the universe?Captain Pierre Jacques has faced down hostile aliens, navigated impossible dilemmas, and maintained the respect of every officer aboard the starship Initiative. But nothing in the Sphynx cat's career prepared him for Questor — a Cheshire cat with godlike powers, an insatiable appetite for mischief, and an inexplicable fixation on making Jacques his new best friend.When Questor challenges Commander Wilker to a wager with the highest possible stakes in "e;Questor is Bester or the Chains of Mortality,"e; Captain Jacques becomes the unwitting prize in a cosmic game he never agreed to play. Then, in "e;Questor's Wonderland,"e; the trickster returns with subtler weapons: a lion's mane that won't come off, a buffet of enchanted sweets, and an Alice in Wonderland style rabbit hole that leads somewhere far more personal than the captain ever expected.Questor has tried bribes, threats, and parlor tricks. He hasn't tried showing Captain Jacques the life he never lived — and the love he never confessed.Two stories of a cat who controls everything except the chaos that follows in his wake.From the four-time Ursa Major Award-winning author of more than 200 published stories.Chronicle 8 of Tri-Galactic Trek — every Chronicle stands alone, so pick your favorite crew member.
