Publisher's summary[[edit] | [edit source]]

A prison ship from the far future has crashed into Earth’s past and its cargo – a tyrannical psychic vampire named Zoroth, along with a gang of batlike monsters – has been unwittingly freed beneath Victorian London. The ship’s warden and gaoler, a psychic alien named Peqod, managed to survive the crash too and is preventing Zoroth from escaping the past. But Zoroth wants his revenge, and with the help of a Victorian engineer named Sir Arnold Heath is building a gigantic time trap to capture Peqod so that he might return to have his revenge on the future.

Now, the railways of England have been turned to a darker purpose and strange ghost trains stalk the landscape, searching for Peqod. But, as the net closes in and the time trap prepares to spring, unwitting time travellers are ensnared instead…
