The sequel to 'Who Goes There?' (1977).
Warren Peace joined the Space Legion to forget - and forgot what it was he wanted to forget.In his quest to find out who he'd been he got turned into an Oscar by a symbiotic alien parasite.
Oscars are invulnerable superbeings,immune to everything and with no need for air,food or drink,let alone sex and drugs and rock'n'roll.Marooned on an airless planet with a whole bunch of them,Warren is bored witless.
Then a chance encounter with a lump of pryktonite turns him back into a human,and Warren embarks on a new career - as a galactic troubleshooter.His first mission takes him (with a couple of Oscars providing the muscle) to a water-covered planet where a company producing a mind-blowing drug is having trouble with its alien work force.It seems they're smuggling alien porn mags on to the planet,and too . . . tired to work.Warren sets out to find the solution . . .
'Warren Peace' is the second bizarre episode in the series that began with 'Who Goes There?' by the acclaimed author of 'Orbitsville' and the 'Ragged Astronauts' trilogy.
