Welcome grieving readers. Thanks for being here.
Yes, the sad news of the passing of Max Gavaskar is making the rounds. She died just hours after my visit with her last week. She met with the Fordian Ambassador and after that she said she felt weak. She was taken to her private bedroom and was surrounded by her family as she gently faded away.
I had no idea who she was or who she was to become when she came to my door with my friend Dorian Thain. She was a bright, charming and beautiful young woman. She was a gentle soul. I can’t remember her getting angry at anyone. For those who remember her big speech during the Galactic War we remember her embracing her would-be assassin Gary Meyer. This man had become obsessed with killing her, yet she was the first one who tried to comfort him when his mission had failed.
That was the kind of person she was. That was, in part, why she became the Mother of the Galaxy.
Max is gone but her story lives on. You can read about her journey in three books about her.
The Gavaskar Field; details her exile on planet Lava and her time running a saloon there. It tells how she met Dorian Thain and how, together they escaped the planet tipped on its side.
Kusha: Tells us how Max came to her insight that opened up the Galaxy to faster than light travel. It also tells of humanities First Contact and how Max and Dorian established humanity as a prominent species in the Milky Way Galaxy.
The Mother of the Galaxy: Is the story of the Galactic War and Max’s involvement in its early ending. It is the tale of her adventure on Earth and the eventually failed quest of Gary Meyer to kill Max.
Never mix red wine and Oodo.
