Senior Firefighter Fletcher Darcy wasn't having the best of days. What started out as a routine firecall, had somehow turned into a disaster. With one firefighter dead, one savagely maimed and his career in tatters, Fletcher is seriously in need of a career change. When the offer comes, he decides to take a chance on his future. The fact that a large paycheck is involved adds a certain clarity to his decision.
Fletcher will need all the clarity he can get his hands on in his new job, because the project he has signed up for involves him and a team of time travelers as they attempt to save a young officer from the slaughter on first day of the Somme.
Despite all of his careful planning, despite all of the twenty-twenty hindsight the average time traveler should have, things go hideously wrong.
Now, with no way of returning to their known future Fletcher must now locate his team across time, against the horrendous backdrop of what will become known as the 'Great War' and solve the riddle of what is yet to come.
