About this ebook
In 1991, two girls, Harriet and Emily, on a school trip to the cathedral discover the activity of the aliens. However, they are warned of the dangers by the ghost of the first bishop.
The girls, using the Internet, uncover several accounts in the cathedral archives, where bones have come alive.
Matters become serious when several aliens take over a policeman and army major sent to control the situation. Excavations take place as the aliens search for the craft in which they arrived to enable them to conquer the whole planet.
Together with information from the diary of an eighteenth-century milliner, Mrs. Pendlebury, the two girls direct humanitys fight back.
Malcolm Foster
Malcolm has been writing stories and telling them all his adult life. He has made storytelling a central part of his professional life as a teacher. His aim has always been to get his readers (and listeners) hooked by creating vivid mental pictures in their minds, similar to watching a movie and thereby carrying them along with the drama of the characters’ lives. While teaching at St. John’s International School in Sidmouth, he has written and produced many plays for young people, encouraging them to tell stories themselves, whether truth or fiction, and enjoy the whole mental process of telling and listening to stories. As a teacher and student of history, he has always been fascinated by the Norman invasion of England. He first learned of local events growing up in Hastings. Malcolm has tried to bring the events of 1068 alive by setting them in the everyday lives of the Saxons of Exeter, but also trying to portray the determination and ruthlessness of a king who was prepared to lay waste to the entire north of England to get his own way while at the same time dealing less savagely with a wealthy and important city
