The Fifth Horseman

The mysterious new arrival in Whittlewick turns out to be Professor Stinger suffering from amnesia.  Under the guise of Clive Shrewsbury he attempts to discover his missing past.

Finally released from the Riverside asylum Clive Shrewsbury (Professor Stinger) re-engages with the Beehive Hotel's social scene and takes a fateful visit to the hive with Rico.

A wandering speck of space dust settles near the hive carrying a cargo that proves fatal to Theta and the plans of the Mind Masters.

Solomon Stinger really was entirely alone. A forlorn creature totally lost, bravely whistling in the dark. Never at any time during a long and eventful previous existence had he felt more alone. He was in fact more hopelessly alone than any other human had ever been. Cast list... Omega | : | Apple Mac ("Moira") Gorog | : | Apple Mac ("Lee") Professor Solomon Stinger | : | Peter...

It seemed Rico was regarded by the voice as a “dutiful servant”.  Within months of Theta’s promise, the prediction of his acquisition of “a much larger beehive” was fulfilled, but at a tragic cost. The millennium was nearing its end when through the Hotel's door sidled a hunched figure, almost surreptitiously it seemed. He was dressed in a crumpled dark suit, down-at-heel shoes, dark glasses...

The problem that faced them was this: how could this well-respected Professor and his hotel-waiter companion, two men missing for ten days or so, widely sought throughout the county and beyond, suddenly turn up from nowhere - in this very station? Moreover, they had materialised in one of the ancient, long-disused cell rooms situated in its very centre! These old cells were used as store-rooms now...

The situation Rico and the Professor found themselves in in 1897 was proving more alarming at every turn, if not positively menacing. The local rector considers them nothing less than emissaries of Satan and takes action that proves prejudicial to their future well-being.  In the grim surrounds of the Magistrates’ Court the two are charged under the Vagrancy Act and of propagating views of an extr...

Somewhere in the background of a spinning mind Rico becomes aware of a brass band playing. It was definitely somewhere in the town - and the sound is becoming louder by the moment. That painfully familiar sense of foreboding develops until it floods his consciousness. The Professor has also heard the band music and follows the waiter outside the hotel to investigate. Outside on the pavement they s...

Some months have passed since Rico had been given instructions by the mind voice at the beehive to bring a scientist to the hive entrance. Now he has brought Professor Stinger in person. But at the beehive the Professor is taken unwell, with no forewarning in the grip of some sort of seizure. The Professor begins mouthing indecipherable words, for all the world as if he too was in conversation wit...

Whilst this bar‑room pantomime had been taking its course the news-flash mentioned recently by the doctor was indeed being transmitted world-wide. On reaching his room Rico switched on the small TV set and picked up the horror story midway through...
