A imaginative mystery to be solved, which Adrian Tchaikovsky, a master of the unexpected, manages to entice and string you along, until you don’t want, but need to know the answers.
Pseudo-historian Doctor Hendry is missing. His employers want answers.
Paranormal investigators Michael and Walter join the search party to Hendry’s remote Scottish cliff-top home, accompanied by two unscrupulous mercenaries and a deeply sceptical history professor.
Among the doctor’s research they find more than they bargained for or can even comprehend, and the rescue becomes a fight for survival.
Adrian Tchaikovsky was born in Lincolnshire before heading off to Reading to study psychology and zoology. He subsequently ended up in law and has worked as a legal executive in both Reading and Leeds, where he now lives. Married, he is a keen live role-player and occasional amateur actor and has trained in stage-fighting. He's the author of Children of Time, the winner of the 30th Anniversary Arthur C. Clarke Award, and the Sunday Times bestseller Shards of Earth.
