The Bear Faced Liar (Octavius Bear 18)

Octavians on a Cruise Ship! Bearoness Belinda's suggestion that she and Octavius retire has produced some interesting results. Can he actually become a Consulting Detective EMERITUS? They agreed on a one year sabbatical tour with the Twins, away from UUI, the Hexagon and above all, criminals. Off they went to Australia and then three exoplanets in Multiverse Space. For their next trip, they set off on a Caribbean cruise on an ecologically advanced ship -The Solarwind; only to find more threats, a death and Octavius' ne'er do well stepbrother, Agrippa - The Bear Faced Liar. Sail along with us. Was Bruce Wallaroo right when he asked "You're not really going to retire, are you? Leopards can't change their spots and bears can't change their fur." We'll see!
