He returns to the present determined to fulfil her wish that has much toxin as possible be made in preparation for the coming war, even though she knew that wouldn’t save her. It’s the only way Dan can save his adult daughter Muri (Colonel Muri Forester to give her her title), a military scientist who has managed to create a toxin that kills not just the common or garden male White Spikes, but the rarer, aggressive, hard-to-kill females.Īt attack by the creatures in 2051 has left Muri dead though, slipping off the edge of the burning sea rig where she had been conducting her experiments Dan, unable to save her, was then instantly jumped back to 2022 after which the jump portal stopped working. (Sadly we never see Rob and co finding tiny White Spikes in monks’ illuminated manuscripts, or epic poems revealing St George’s dragon to be one.)ĭan, Charlie and Dorian, having survived their seven-day tour of duty and jumped back to 2022, start trying to work out where the creatures came from so they can be destroyed before the war even starts. The creatures, or White Spikes, which appeared overnight in Northern Russia in 2048, had actually been buried in the ice and snow since the eruption of a volcano on the Chinese-Korean border in 948 AD. Well, the 21st century’s loss is the Dark Ages’ gain. Very spoilery on whether you should start hoarding food with a 2051 expiry date.
