Escaping from the future, our heroes find themselves in the distant past... sort of.
It’s 1953, but a very different 1953 from the one we’re used to. The
UK has still not recovered from a second World War that lasted an extra
year longer than in our history. The Americans had to step in to save
the besieged country, dropping another Atom Bomb on Berlin. They are now
running the grateful UK as if it is part of the US and are now
expanding their empire against the growing might of the Soviet Union.
The Time Barrier has been discovered and is being studied by a team
of scientists, whilst strange items are being smuggled through from
different time periods - weapons perhaps, traded with the future? Spivs
and racketeers run the streets, and the US Government plan highways
through time... And behind it all is a very familiar face.
