Star Control Interbellum

by W.T. Quick

Lump is an ordinary Unzervalt ortog, barely smart enough to eat, drink, sleep, and stink. Jemmy Crost is an ordinary Unzervalt ortogherd, as bored and listless as any teenager killing time. When the two of them stumble into the dark recesses of an ancient cavern, they inadvertently awaken a mysterious life force dormant for centuries.

By the time it awakens fully, leaders of the human and Ur-Quan races will converge on Unzervalt, desperate to possess the secret power of the cavern. Only war hero Commander Omega and his band of maverick fighters have a chance against the lethal Ur-Quan dreadnought.

More than just their lives are at stake—the universe itself depends on their success.

Reviews

[Des · Rating 1 out of 5]

This is, most assuredly, the worst book I've ever read. Or, at least, that I have completed. The plot made no sense and had a literal deus ex machina ending. W.T. Quick laces the book with pointless cliches and senseless similes and metaphors.

[Nobbynob Littlun · Rating 2 out of 5]

Passable sci-fi at best. Its connection to the Star Control game, aka The Ur-Quan Masters, was... tenuous.

[Keira F. Adams · Rating 2 out of 5]

Dumb.
