Cover blurb:
SCIENCE FICTION HAS NEVER SOUNDED SO MUCH FUN!


‘These CDs will appeal both to die-hard students of Bernice and those who attend her lectures only occasionally. I can’t wait for the next one.’
Doctor Who Magazine

‘Lisa Bowerman gets [Bernice] just right — prim refinement and earthy nonchalance.’
Dreamwatch Magazine

Professor Bernice Summerfield: 26th century archaeology professor, and tutor at St Oscar’s University on the planet Dellah. Prone to getting involved in adventures, scrapes and general derring-do armed only with her wits, cunning and a flask of brandy! Aged about 35ish, but frequently says she’s younger. Odd that...

Jason Kane: 20th century guy, kidnapped by aliens and taken to the future where he met and married Bernice. Then they got divorced. Spends most of his time these days in bars, getting involved with very dodgy deals, criminal low-lifes and other undesirables. Far more intelligent and resourceful than he gives himself credit for.

The Time-Rings: Given to Benny and Jason as wedding rings, they are two extraordinarily powerful devices which, used together, can take them anywhere in time and space. Recently they took Benny and Jason to 570BC. Now they’ve moved them on a bit — Bernice to AD 1909, Jason to...?

The Charrl: Insectoid race, often mistaken for overgrown grasshoppers. Highly developed psychic powers and a perchant for slicing and dicing East End ladies of the night.
