Publisher's Synopsis
Endgames! The closing moves in chess. While there are Queens and many Pawns, this book is not about the board game!
Heaven very seldom intervenes directly in the affairs of mortals - animals or humans. This time it's different. Mary, Queen of Heaven has become aware of a plot to subdue two distant worlds and reduce the survivors to slaves who will then conquer the entire cosmos. The villains - General Turmoil - a sociopathic horse on animal-based Earth Alpha and the infamous Professor James Moriarty of hominid Earth Beta are moving rapidly with their dastardly plans.
She could have called on a fleet of angels to stop the carnage but chose instead to pit mortals against mortals. She called on the deceased but irrepressible Baroness Juliet Armstrong and her dog Pookie to work with Octavius Bear and his companions as well as Sherlock Holmes and Doctor Watson in this multiverse rescue endeavor.
In the process, Octavius, his wife Belinda and sidekick Maury Meerkat take a short jaunt to Paradise. In turn, he and Lady Juliet must convince Holmes that Moriarty is not dead and indeed engaged in the evil partnership with the General.
This book is the last volume in the Glamorous Ghost and Octavius Bear series. All the previous players are on the board. Join them in their adventures!
