Black Table

Jon and Gus, science fiction fans from Finland with a penchant for fist bumping and pop culture references, travel to the Portland Comic Con where tragedy strikes. Their hero, Dr Wells, suffers a heart attack. With his dying breath, the doctor exhorts Jon to "find the ..." as he pushes a book into Jon's hands. Following clues inscribed in the book, Jon and Gus discover an alien structure with a mysterious Black Table which they accidently activate, transporting them to an alien world. Jumping from world to world via the Black Table galactic transportation network, Jon and Gus embark on the adventure of a lifetime where they encounter monsters, alien tech, giant vessels made of water and make new friends. But those friends are facing an unstoppable and mindless enemy. An enemy that is destroying the galaxy, and Earth is next in its path. Can two fans from Finland save the day? Black Table is a rollicking yarn of two likeable, wise-cracking friends who like nothing better than pranking each other. That is, except when they are not doing something more serious, like saving the universe.JOIN THE FIGHT, JOIN THE BLACK TABLE NETWORK.Author's note:The main characters in this story are from Finland. When Finns speak English, they use a mix of American and British English idioms, so gas not petrol, mobile phone not cell, jello not jelly. As the Finnish language does not have articles ('the', 'a', etc.), Finns do occasionally drop these when speaking English. To reflect this, in certain circumstances the characters do not use the definitive article. This is a style choice and not an error.
