Epstein

Professor Epstein was a specialist in Chelonian literature.

Biography
In 2593, Epstein went on St Oscar's University's expedition to Perfecton. He told Owl about his area of study, a conversation with Arthur Candy joined, and told Menlove Stokes about the Grel when Janes identified one of their ships. In the Perfecton city, he and Farouk weighed decorative items in their hands.

Epstein's knowledge of the Grel from Chelonian literature proved to be of use to the other academics and he spent several hours negotiating with the Grel Master. He was surprised at how quickly Thooo learnt their language and was later saved from the destruction of Perfecton by the Winton, which was restored by Bernice Summerfield. (PROSE: Oh No It Isn't!)
