Empire & Oracle

THERE IS WAR IN THE HEAVENS. AND BLOOD UPON THE LAND. The Great Conflict rages and the Mothmen, in a desperate bid to wrest control of space-time from the megalomaniacal clutches of the Molemen, ignite a diabolical battle for galactic supremacy that threatens to shatter the foundations of the universe. Welcome to EMPIRE & ORACLE, where the mysterious influence of the Scarab Cult lures Mr. Z. headlong into the past - 20th century India, 19th century Haida Gwaii and beyond - fracturing the forces of the Time Detective Contingent and plunging Vixy and Neutic into the dark heart of 13th century Angkor Wat. Only supernatural redemption, uncanny courage, and the fraught heroics of a familiar yet alien outcast can avert pan-galactic chaos and cosmic ruin. Series description: Welcome to a place where the future really is the past! In what sense? Well, Mr. Z. and the Time Detective Contingent - the TDC - reside within a far future Earth, a place as compellingly familiar and irresistibly exotic as can be imagined. It's where time travel, if not exactly commonplace, is nevertheless rampant, and all too vulnerable to the same fraught geopolitics, warped ambitions and insidious inhumanity unleashed by ideologues, despotic tyrants, crooks and criminals everywhere - and every when, too! Dare to join Mr. Z. and the TDC as they plunge headlong into globetrotting, millennia spanning adventures rife with the clash of cultures, the threat of galactic annihilation and the shadowy energies of the supernatural and mythos laden underworlds thriving inside and outside our own heads. Alien contact, psi-powered courage and compelling cosmic lore fuel classic sci-fi thrills and a new mythology twist in this brainy, trenchant, action-packed series.
