But some enemies escaped into the past, to wreak havoc across time. The worst is Cowl – originally human, until artificially-forced evolution made him something else entirely. Polly is unprepared for her involvement with Nandru Jurgens. Heâ a Taskforce soldier, now hunted by killers. Nor can Polly resist the alien ‘tor’ sheâ compelled to attach to her arm. But when sheâ dragged through time, she learns fast. Tack has a tor fragment embedded in his wrist – a bloody reminder of Heliothaneâ government. As their vat-grown assassin, heâ no stranger to violence. But the extent of this mission is different. Meanwhile, a beast hunts its targets through timeâ alternate dimensions. This is Cowl’s pet tor – and itâ eager to feed.
