It was supposed to be a holiday.Brigadier Alistair Lethbridge-Stewart and his fiancée, Fiona, certainly deserved one. A steamer down the Nile and a guided tour of the ruins and artefacts of Ancient Egypt should have been perfect.The things went wrong: attacks on the passengers, secrecy, bizarre behaviour and a voice in Lethbridge-Stewart's head.Something on the boat is so valuable that people will kill to get it. And, out in the desert, something is waking from a long slumber.What do all of these things have to do with the Egyptian God Montu? One thing is for sure, Fiona is about to find out just how dangerous Lethbridge-Stewart's life can be...

1943. Britain’s Home Front is feeling the pain of war. The Fourth Operational Corps has other things to worry about. A downed plane in the High Peak leads Professor Travers to a village full of buried secrets and a family that are far more than they seem. Her first assignment sees new recruit Eileen Le Croissette infiltrating a Sheffield Steelworks. Buried within is a weapon that could change the course of the war, but what does the secretive Mr Huxtable have to do with it? Avoiding his domineering father, Matthew Lethbridge-Stewart is also on the case. But he wasn’t banking on meeting a group of homicidal little robots… The pieces are being set for another conflict, one that started a long way away, to erupt in the middle of wartime Britain.
