Lost Solace by Karl Drinkwater5/31/2023 ![]() ![]() But first you’d have to survive whatever else had hitched a ride on the ship. ![]() Some stories said a sentience sometimes came out of the void when the ships returned centuries later.Ī sentience that was able to answer any questions. And one of the myths had caught Opal’s imagination long ago: the Oracle. Enough money to disappear off the grid for good. There were rumours of unbelievable technology, discoveries that could earn the finder enough money to pursue any dream. Legends talked of them returning – and not empty-handed. Opal boards the mystery ship, narrowly missing the skewers of alien weapons that arise mysteriously out of its hull, and we’re off. It’s a tribute to Drinkwater’s writing skill that he keeps you involved in a riveting story even without the essential knowledge of what it is that Opal is really looking for. ![]() We don’t find out Opal’s back story or the real motive or object of this quest until after the action is over, near the very end of the novel. It turns out the Oracle is only a means to an end. ![]()
