More DescriptionAs I were walking up the stairsI met a man who shouldn't be thereHe shouldn't be there again todayI wish to god he'd go awayNothing ever goes according to plan - especially where Time Travel is concerned. Instead of Southend, Lucy and Mark find themselves in Nazi Britain in 1949, on a different pier, in a world that shouldn't exist. But getting back to the present isn't simple; the distortion at Aldwych Strand Station has shut itself down, ostensibly to protect itself from the Nazis occupiers. Fortunately, there are rumours of a second entrance, but to find it Lucy and Mark must read Marconi's diary which is housed in the Volk's Palast - the former Alexandra Palace - home to the SS. Split up (for their safety) Mark heads to Muswell Hill and the diary, while Lucy is deposited at the Leytonstone Displacement Camp.Her job is to talk to one of Marconi's team - a man who mapped the distortion as a lad. However, he is clinically insane. To find the answers to his riddles, Lucy must work with the camp's commandant the enigmatic psychiatrist - and rising star in the Nazi Party - Admiral Valentin Von Schmidt. As October turns to November, as Mark and the Prisoner of the Volks Palast witness Nazi brutality at first hand, Lucy find herself at the heart of the regime. But Mark (although he doesn't know it) is safer. There are two people at the November 8th celebrations who want Lucy's time travelling ability - and they will tear her apart to achieve their ends...
