The future of the human race is at stake!

Cover blurb:
The United Nations Intelligence Taskforce was set up to tackle human contact with the extraterrestrial and paranormal — especially when that contact proved dangerous. But when the battles were over, when the top-secret ‘clean ups’ had been completed, where was all the alien technology taken?
The Warehouse... UNIT’s highly classified storage and research establishment. Here lie the dead, forgotten relics of past battles and encounters. But what happens when one of these relics is reactivated?
UNIT has only one way of dealing with its mistakes. The Containment Team has been summoned... and the outcome is far from certain...
