THEY THOUGHT WE WERE SAFE
THEY WERE WRONG


Four years ago, Lee's best friend went missing. They were chasing rumours of monsters on Bodmin Moor and found something all too real. Now Mal is back, but where's she been - and who's she working for?


MI5's Julian Sabreur is investigating an attack on top physicist Kay Amal Khan. This leads him to clash with agents of an unknown power - and they may or may not be human. Julian's only clue is some grainy footage, showing a woman who supposedly died on Bodmin Moor . . .


Dr Khan's research was theoretical; then she found cracks between our world and many parallel Earths. Now these cracks are widening, revealing extraordinary and deadly creatures. And as the doors are flung open, anything could come through.
