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

In this adventure a time traveller from Earth’s future, Professor Fiora Breen, finds herself stranded in the past, the ordeal rendering her genetic code unstable. Horrified and realising that she will never survive a trip back to the future, Breen is attempting to fix the problem before risking a trip back home. Unfortunately, this requires her to steal life energy from her victims.

Napoleon is a partner in crime in this venture, as he sees an opportunity to create a new Time Corridor. While Earth lacks the resources to build such a gadget, Napoleon believes that Professor Breen’s Time Cabinet can be modified to approximate one, presuming that she can eliminate the problem inherent in using it. To this end, Napoleon’s minions are helping Professor Breen procure the resources that she needs, including fresh victims. The experiment has also caught the eye of Dr Karfelov, who has his own designs on a time machine…
