About this ebook
A tiny village in Wales is the scene for a contest in the distant past and the present, involving characters drawn together by social awkwardness and sci-fi hi-jinks.
A young woman running from her furtive past and battling deep-seated issues.
A scarred colonel exiled out of the army, made to live out his twilight years by the sea.
A bomb-disposing earl from the Twentieth Century bemused by travelling in time and trying to find his place in the future.
Together they face machine machinations, revelations about the past and come to terms with the re-running of a contest about man and technology's place in the future.
