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.
