Novel Description[edit]
Title: Dr. Zeist and the Search for Lavoisier's Ghost
Blurb: Rumor - and some scraps of diary long left mouldering in university basement archives - speak of a voyage made by famed chemist Antoine Lavoisier to the South Pacific, and the fantastical advancements he made in the field of CALORIC THEORY using strange local substances. An ardent follower of Lavoisier, DR. OBERON ZEIST mounts his own expedition to the island where Lavoisier set up his lap. Can Dr. Zeist overcome the greedy American speculators and angry French Foreign Legionnaires to spread his findings to the masses and recover his good name?
Staff Information[edit]
Jane Tallfeather, Ph.D. [Dr. Tallfeather - who has her own degree in chemistry - is Dr. Zeist's long-suffering laboratory assistant and co-author. Her primary roles are to (1) edit the nonsensical ramblings that Dr. Zeist produces for publication and (2) smooth over social situations when Dr. Zeist makes an ass of himself.] [Advances: Quality, Independent, Skilled x2] [Skills: Rapport [+3], Empathy [+2], Science [+2]]
Jean Francois Tourique and Jean Louis Tourique [These twins are former sailors who, for the promise of a really rather meagre amount of pay, assist Dr. Zeist as guards and general laborers.] [Might +1]
