Brigadier Lethbridge-Stewart is in disgrace. And alone.

As the inquiry into his recent actions closes in, he takes personal leave, and heads to the United States to hunt answers. The conspiracy he’s been uncovering stretches to the highest levels, involving people with the ability to manipulate probability and random chance, who could skew the fate of the entire world. But what for?

From the UN building to the Pentagon, the streets of Harlem to the shores of Barbados, Lethbridge-Stewart has to leave behind his secure position and build a
new team of international allies. What they establish could bring the world together to face alien threats… or their different agendas could tear everything down.

They locate the man behind the conspiracy. But is there someone – or something – behind even him?
