Publisher's summary
On the alien world on the far side of the Arch, the Vulpreen put their human prisoner through an ordeal. Osgood must lead a desperate rescue attempt - and she's got ten minutes to do it.
Plot
On the Void World, Kate is sent through a prototype arch to an energy crystal mine by Lord Varliss. She meets Worrall, a Vulpreen slave who has almost forgotten her name, and learns that time moves differently in the punishment camp to both the Void World and Earth. She realises that the time differential is an advantage to frustrate Varliss, who tortures her for information on Earth's defences.
Josh prioritises the Vulpreen invasion over Kate's rescue and orders an airstrike to destroy the Arch whilst Jimmy has Jacqui taken to a secure location. With ten minutes until the bombing, Josh and Osgood manage to get past the Vulpreen and the Eleven and pass through the Arch to save Kate. They steal a Vulpreen transporter and, calculating that they have six hours before the Arch is destroyed, they head to the camp and evade a larger vehicle.
Varliss tells Kate that two of her friends have come to try to save her and, later, kills Worrall. In Worrall's memory, the slaves rise up against Varliss and Kate passes through the prototype arch and is reunited with Osgood and Josh. They take Varliss's flier and return to Earth, where Jimmy has incapacitated the Eleven with a personal electroshock device and learnt that the bomb will flood the Arch with energy. He tries to abort the drop, but it is too late and the Arch is destroyed. The Void World is freed from the prison loop and the Vulpreen receive a message saying that they have been waited for.
The Eleven tells Kate that the Vulpreen will be coming to Earth in full force from the Void World, destroying humanity. He laughs, saying that it is only a matter of time.
