Thworping through time and space, one adventure at a time! The last part of the set ties the story arc together as the remaining humanity prepares for the apocalypse. River's body is running thin, and she and Sam are being interrogated as terrorists while they try to warn the people about Clay's plan to wipe everyone out. The religious allegories that have run through the set come to a tee here, with Noah's arc plot (similar to the one in Invasion of the Dinosaurs) and Clay's religious fanatics finally completing their mission in the name of faith. The story is tightly linked to Ark in Space and a prequel to it. This one picks up the pace again and the tension as time runs out for everyone. Vira and Noah join the cast in major supporting roles (and are mostly used to discuss the ethical implications of saving the select few in an apocalypse), while River and Sam take more of a backseat role until the last third. Garrison Clay shows his true colours and is delightfully evil. His henchman, Daster, is also put to good use. The set concludes neatly, but not very excitingly.
