Mutabilis
Introduction
This is a Novella based on Oolite, the sequel to 'Status Quo' by Drew Wagar.
"When a series of linked murders forces GalCop to outlaw the shadow organisation known as 'The Dark Wheel', a mysterious top secret document must be found in order to stave off a Galactic conflict. The document contains a devastating secret; the key to power, domination and control. A secret as old as space itself, the location of the legendary planet Raxxla."

You can buy a hard copy of the story here, if you'd prefer a copy to hold in your hand. This is sold at 'cost' with the buyer only paying for the production costs at cafepress. The author makes no profit from the sales of the story. This is due to Oolite being a 'Creative Commons' production, and 'Mutabilis' thus being a derivative work.
