Book description
In the heart of post-war London, a bomb is discovered lodged at a
disused station between Green Park and Hyde Park Corner. The bomb
detonates, and as the dust clears, it becomes apparent that something
has been awakened. Strange half-human creatures attack the workers at
the site, hungrily searching for anything containing sugar... Meanwhile,
Honor and Emily are contacted by eccentric poet Randolph Crest, who
believes himself to be the target of these subterranean creatures. The
ensuing investigation brings Honor and Emily up against a terrifying
force from deep beneath the earth, and one which even with their
combined powers, they may have trouble stopping. Part mystery, part
detective story, part dark fantasy, part science fiction... original
adventures in time and space. In the heart of post-war London, a bomb
