TODAY the ultimate weapon is found! TODAY the road to the salvation of the United States is secured! TODAY two good men meet to perform their duties, and one must fall!! 139 episodes in the making, friends, it is the Beginning of the End for the Thoremerson! Nothing could possibly go wrong! See the inevitable, and gasp at its inevitabilitude in Episode 140: Nothing in Life is so Exhilarating!!

- Geoff and The Count

Peter has sent the Robotic Beaver packing, but what of Frederick, Newton, Abe Lincoln, Frederick Douglass, and their search for the weapon to finally destroy the Thoremerson? When last we saw them, Edgar Allen Poe was desperately trying to tell them its resting place, but knowing where something is and getting there are two entirely separate things, as the Educated Observer will discover in Episode 139: Filling an Empty Head!!

- Geoff and The Count

The Robot Beaver has been forced into revealing his true form ... and unfortunately it is much bigger and generally tougher looking. Can Peter emerge victorious in his battle for life itself against this Steam-Powered Rodent-Bot, or will our hero stay true to pattern and err on the side of bumbling and incompetence? Beaver. Peter. One will be defeated, but who? WHO? It's Episode 138: The Peter (the Great) Principle, and it's on, RIGHT NOW!!

- Geoff and The Count

Geoff is back! And he has brought that fickle lady, Color, with him! Our time with Napoleon and Falco and Euler is over, and we dive right back where we left off... Peter v. Beaver!! That's pretty much all you need to know. It's Peter the Great, Tsar of Russia, versus a Robotic Beaver with the ability to instantaneously age people. It is, and always will be, Episode 137: Beaver, Robot, Villain, Spy!

- The Count and Geoff

It's the last episode of the Summer Special. Next week we burst out with full color guns a-blazin' to return to the mystery of Peter and the Beaver. But first, Napoleon must decide - kill Honecker and prevent World War III or leave him be and so avoid becoming the tool of Wellington and Eisenhower? A country's fate is at stake, and it all rests upon a man whose conquests cost the lives of an odd million or so people. It's the last episode of Napoleon's Last Campaign: GLASNOST!!

- The Count and Geoff

To get back to his own time, Napoleon need but do one simple thing: kidnap East German General Secretary Erich Honecker and drop him in an ocean, there to die. This will prevent the fabled 1987 meeting between Honecker and Kohl and thereby avoid the possibility of the renewal of German Militaristic Fury.

Surely, one with Napoleon's record for continent-wide slaughter should have no trouble pulling off a job such as this... but then, the 80s changed a lot of dudes in a lot of ways... Napoleon! Honecker! And a secret so shocking it might just change the very face of Europe! It's Napoleon's Last Campaign: Second Time as Farce!

- The Count and Geoff

One Euler. One Falco. One Napoleon. There is a crisis brewing in 1986, a crisis right here in The City of Night, Berlin. Crisis, with a capital C, and that rhymes with C, and that stands for CDU! The stakes are a Third World War, but what if avoiding it costs us our souls? The pieces fall into place in Napoleon's Last Campaign: Ossis und Wessis!!

- The Count and Geoff

Falco has come to the rescue of Napoleon in 1986, using nothing but his own basic Austrian Coolness to commit the Corsican Heist. But Why Oh Why does a Falco need a Napoleon? An old friend returns and a deadly earnest mission begins RIGHT NOW in the Third Battle of Napoleon's Last Campaign! It's a long way to Tipperary, and a short click to a forgotten chum!

- The Count and Geoff

Unless something happens in a hurry, our good friend Napoleon stands in danger of falling under the sway of 80s economic psychology. Luckily, there is still one force of good in the decade capable of working a miracle. Who could it be, and how can one person stand against an entire system of mental institutionalization? Greatness steps from the shadows in this, the second installment of Napoleon's Last Campaign. All the 80s, none of that junk just before or after!

- The Count and Geoff

Well, Geoff is away laying waste to the East Coast for a couple of weeks, so we take a break from the riveting storyline of two-headed Transcendentalists, robot beavers, and ludicrously unwell Poes to check up on an old friend and learn an important lesson about what Albert Einstein called The Most Powerful Force in the Universe. So tune in, you fine friends of a feather, to The First Battle in NAPOLEON'S LAST CAMPAIGN!!

- The Count and Geoff

Through the good offices of a teenage version of Kate Warne, America's first female detective, our group has finally managed to get Poe's knowledge of George III's Weapon. But knowing where something is is one thing, and getting there is something completely different. Fortunately, Frederick seems to be pretty on top of the unique gifts of his team... and speaking of the team, what has become of Peter all this time? A secret enemy returns! A monarch's career-ending gaffe! It's Episode 136: Powers, and it has something to say!

- The Count and Geoff

Somehow, Frederick and Abe managed to botch perhaps the easiest interrogation in the history of man. So, it's on to either an endless search for an Unknown Weapon or a frank admission of defeat... or perhaps a third option so unexpected as to baffle and confound the senses? It's sleuthery and dealsmanship of the highest order, all to crack the secret of a Poe, and all in Episode 135: What the Heart Hides, Badly.

- The Count and Geoff

So, it turns out the secret to the hiding place of the one weapon that could stand a chance against the Thoremerson is lurking somewhere in the vastly unbalanced mind of one Mr. Edgar Allen Poe. But how does one wring a dark secret from a Poe? The fine art of interrogation joins hands with the supple limbs of diplomacy in Episode 134: Quoth the Hoochfiend!!

Frederick Douglass is DONE ... MESSING ... AROUND. Tired of half-measures and displays of log-splotting machismo, he has hinted at the existence of something so utterly powerful and disturbing that the mere use of it might mean the end of all, you know, civilization-type-stuff. A weapon revealed! A dark, insane family's sacred trust! This, AND a special appearance by Old Hickory in Episode 133: Take Me Back to New Orleans!

- The Count and Geoff

Delaflote has been nursing Abe back to health after his sudden encounter with an age-accelerating robot beaver, and it is now time for Ole Abe to emerge from the shadows of his convalescent bed into the full light of day. But what sort of man will he be, and what sort of future can there be for the team that depends on his mixture of pioneer strength and ready anecdotal base? It's Lincoln, V.2.0, and it's only in Episode 132: The Next To Last Full Measure!

- The Count and Geoff

Peter made a solemn promise to Frederick Douglass to protect the people of Mexico from the ravages of Napoleon's old Galactic Army, now ruling with an iron fist over the California and Nevada territories. In a flash of (entirely pilfered) genius, he has decided to infiltrate the enemy camp and destroy it from the inside, but will he manage to blend in with the other rapscallions, or end up shot dead before he walks through the door. It's Peter's greatest test yet, and it's in Episode 131: You'll Like Him, He's a Scoundrel Too!!
