1939. The interval that was called “The Phony War”. It was the eight months between the Nazi invasion of Poland and the hostilities in France. War had been declared but, for now, no major actions were forthcoming. However it was a very real war for The Lady and the Professor. Lady Emily Joyce: electronics and mechanics genius, peerless pilot, and the most beautiful and deadly woman in England, possibly the world. Professor August Lane: a big, brawling, good natured, Canadian backwoodsman who, as unlikely as it seemed, just happened to be one of the top physicists in the world. Together the long time partners and lovers had dealt with some of the most bizarre and terrible threats against England and the world. But it had been quite some time since the two had worked “in the field” as the Professor referred to it. These days Lane’s adventures were confined to the lecture halls and Lady Emily was devoting all her brilliance in electronics to aiding the British war effort. But something monstrous was afoot. America’s secret research presumed that a new, terrible weapon was still years away. England assumed that the brave actions of Norwegian and French forces had stymied Germany’s development of “heavy water” as a key component of such a weapon. They were both wrong. That terrible weapon, the Atomic bomb, was within the Nazi’s grasp and the only ones singularly equipped to deal with the menace were The Lady and the Professor along with their fearless companions; Minister Hugh McCrimmon, his exquisite wife Aaradhya O’Hara McCrimmon, her father Colonel Allenby O’Hara, and Lady Emily’s incredible band of cousins. This time their adventure would cover almost half the world taking them from the deepest jungles to snow covered mountains as they faced off against their most ruthless opponent yet. And all the while the clock was ticking on the fate of the allies and the world.
