They took him from his world to end a war on theirs…
They got more than they bargained for.
Malcolm Fletcher, a brilliant young engineer living in post-WW1 Great
Britain, is kidnapped by extra-terrestrials to help end a centuries-old
interplanetary conflict.
Rather than benefit one side, Malcolm invents a technology which brings
peace and prosperity to his captors’ entire star system. Released to
return home, he learns a terrible secret: his hosts have discharged a deadly
particle beam toward Earth.
Upon its arrival in 101 years’ time, all of humanity will be
destroyed. Risking punishment beyond the imagination of any mortal human,
Malcolm puts into motion a plan to save his species, exacting his ultimate
revenge.
