49 days remain. A remote British Past and an American Present are still entwined in this stand-alone follow-on to SHADOW ON THE SUN. The deadline is approaching for an imminent project aimed at saving countless American lives. But just when success seems assured a once thought defunct terrorist cell is again found ready to strike at its heart. Linked to the project's success so far has been a military aircraft, shot down in the time of King Arthur, but now found to have possible survivors. A scientist is trying to orchestrate a way back for them from Past into Present. He hopes to recover a wife too who became entangled in a similar fate to the aircraft's and stemming from the same cause. Can the terrorists be stopped? And in time? Can those trapped in an ancient and hostile history be rescued? Once again former journalist R Julian Cox displays his deep understanding of the issues and technologies involved. He weaves all of it into the novel's multiple story lines along with evidence of considerable research. The end result is a thought provoking and compelling read.
