Last time for time. Jerry Pierce was the Intertemporal Agency's most experienced operative - a time-traveller on the old subway train that whisked him back and forth through the ages. He'd already altered history by directing the Turkish conquest of Constantinople four centuries ahead of schedule and garrotting an obscure Mongol chief before the man became a problem.

Hard times, tough man. It was the 1990s and the world was going to pieces. Poverty was up, employment was down, and bashing foreign cars was in. Revolutionaries of every kind stalked the streets. The government ruled by martial law and its last minute solutions to critical problems were only stopgaps. One of the few people willing to fight the coming end of Civilization was Jerry Pierce. A colonel barely out of his teens, Pierce learned early not to let scruples, friendship, or inconvenient dead bodies stand between him and doing a job right. And a good thing too - because it wasn't just civilization he was fighting to preserve, it was all Mankind and the planet Earth itself:- (original cost £2.99).
