This is a strange little book... literally. The cover is eleven by sixteen Cm's, which is much smaller than any other book I've read. The cover is very well rendered. Combining the red eyes with the black and white image of St Paul's Cathedral, this makes for a very intriguing cover that I was drawn to instantly. Also, I have read the prequel, Scared to Death. The plot is well thought out and tells the story of the one Paul Rector. In the last book he was forced to kill his own brother who was contaminated with the demon seed. Although Paul has this evil essence inside him, he does not use it. In this exciting and pulse-racing novel, Paul goes back in time to 1940, slap-bang in the middle of the Blitz. He knows he has to save the people who would die... The enemies are also exceptional. They are a demon brotherhood, all with the demon seed inside them. The best of them is Harry Rector, (recognise the name?), and the leader is King Lum, who is dying to get back to the surface. Paul meets a stupidly brave detective, George Temple, and his beautiful niece, Evelyn, who join him in his fight against the evil demons. Their lives are at stake, but more importantly, the life of Winston Churchill. Paul has to make some sacrifices for the good of the country, but is racked with guilt over leaving his girlfriend Netty an his mum. Will he triumph?
