Be careful what you wish for. What happens when you combine ancient mythology and futuristic technology? You get the planet Mythos, where million to one chances crop up nine times out of ten. In Photons & Feathered Feet, Centaur Island is having a breeding problem. There simply isn't enough females to go around, and the younger males are threatening to challenge Centaur as leader and alpha male of the herd. It would be a fight to the death. However, an entire planet of centaurs is rumored to exist on the far side of the Gamma Quadrant. Still recovering from his first near fatal accident, Centaur and a small research team leave Mythos to search for this fabled planet. But to get there, Centaur faces a fate worse than death.

Photons & Fillies follows the adventures of a human scientist from an alternate time line that ends up on the planet Mythos. This college professor gets unwillingly transformed into a centaur to save himself from dying in a laboratory experiment gone horribly wrong. The "magic" of Mythos is his only hope of survival, as technology is useless in his particular case. As a centaur, he adopts the name Centaur, and he has to get used to his new, much larger, muscular body. Centaur quickly learns his new body has instincts of its own that will not be denied. Along the way, he becomes the ideal leader of the centaur community. Part of his new job is to figure out how to best combine ancient mythology and futuristic technology in such as way as to best benefit all centaurs and his new adopted homeworld. At the same time, he has to cope with the loss of his own personal past, as it is discovered he and Ambassador Cat share more than just common genetics.

Photons & Felines follows the human incarnation of the Lord Wizard. The man returns to Mythos, and our hero gets transformed into a Bengal Werecat. As the recognized creator of Mythos, he is predestined to take the throne and lead this society that combines ancient mythology with futuristic technology. However, he shies away from ruling the planet, and creates someone to rule in his absence. He then returns to his previous duties as captain of a starship. Eventually he becomes an ambassador to Earth, and saves a race of aliens who are also found to be genetically similar to his new species. In the meantime, he must adjust to his new body and special abilities. He discovers being part Bengal Tiger is only part of a larger problem. He realizes that the "curse" of a were-beast is that that he may never again want to be fully human. He also realizes anew that the difference between science and magic may all depend on your point of view.
