Elsewhere, on the small Scottish isle of Strommach, strange machines come ashore and attack the small fishing community. Meanwhile, newly-minted Brigadier Lethbridge-Stewart has to contend with the politics of running an organisation like the Home-Army Fifth Operational Corps, but he’s soon pulled away from such tedious back-patting when a nuclear submarine is lost with all hands while investigating the strange occurrences in the North Sea. What are the Ymir, and why is it important for them to collect so many humans for their Grandfathers? And why does their success spell certain doom for Edinburgh? Lethbridge-Stewart, Anne Travers and Mary Wilde are about to learn the shocking truth first hand. And along to help, or hinder, is journalist Harold Chorley, who has a score to settle with Lethbridge-Stewart... |
