Captain Science #5
☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeCaptain Science #5 contains at least two stories. "The Shark Pirates of Pisces" follows an expedition struggling through tangled undergrowth near a crash region where they discover hundreds of dead animals stripped of their skeletal structure, encounter a massive carnivorous flower-like creature, and face attack by an enormous beast before escaping. The second story involves Captain Science dealing with uranium freighter hijackings by outlaws, discovering that Dr. Pillet's daughter Polly is on one of the captured ships, and uncovering a plot by criminals to disrupt airline and shipping operations through sabotage, leading to a confrontation where Captain Science uses unexpected tactics against the conspirators.
When a robot intelligence warns Captain Science that a threat is hurtling toward Earth from the future—originating from the frozen depths of Pluto—he and his assistants Rip and Luana race across the solar system to confront the danger at its source. Landing on the desolate Plutonian surface, they breach the fortress of Throm and uncover a time machine poised to unleash devastation on humanity. Captain Science must navigate both the alien world's lethal cold and the cunning of beings determined to use the machine's power to invade Earth—all while time itself becomes the enemy.
The inhabitants of an alien world have cultivated a garden of deadly flowers—and when Captain Science investigates, he discovers these blooms pose a threat far beyond their otherworldly origin. Caught between botanical horror and an adversary with sinister intentions, our hero must find a way to survive "The Flowers of Death" before their lethal properties claim him.
