When UNIT is called in to investigate strange goings-on at Addershall Hall, they uncover a supernatural menace about to be unleashed upon the world. They need an expert. They need Miss Hawthorne.
Or “Aunt Olive”, as Sergeant John Benton of UNIT calls her.
The pair must go undercover to find out the truth about the wyverns ushered into this universe by a clandestine group of evil-worshippers.
Tempted away from Devil’s End, Miss Hawthorne soon gets a taste for adventure, and so, in these six short stories, she and Benton have to track down the reason for mysterious earthquakes across the sleepy village of Lower Budworthy, slip out the Wringford Worm’s grip, and find themselves in Germany, recovering experimental missile plans. Of course, they also meet some new friends — and plenty of enemies — along the way.
