Hidden in eternal darkness lies a force that could change the course of history, with only an army veteran and a toothless dog able to deliver it from the shadows.

Adrian Gozney lives and works at a remote boarding school on the south coast of England, a lonely figure defined by a past that is no longer his own. He must now confront the source of his pain to seek the truth, as a World War One bullet begins a race to discover an ancient secret.

Nuclear physicists, spies, billionaires, rock stars, daredevils, martial artists, teachers and extraterrestrials all come together to unravel a tangled mind and bring forth an artefact that people would die to own.

On a journey that will take him into the heart of an extraordinary conspiracy, Adrian holds the key to saving old friends, uncovering otherworldly objects and provoking powerful enemies. The repercussions of his discoveries will reverberate across continents, generations and perhaps the very future of humanity.

This light-hearted science fiction adventure combines elements of low fantasy, first contact and spy-fi. A thrilling debut novel that offers action mixed with humour, top secret futuristic technology and likeable characters pitted against forces they cannot hope to control.
