Blurb
There was a flash of light, the air flickered... and the world changed. It's May 21, 1941, thought Johnny. It's war.
Johnny Maxwell and his friends have to do some- thing when they find Mrs. Tachyon, the local bag lady, semi-conscious in an alley... as long as it's not the kiss of life.
But there's more to Mrs Tachyon than a squeaky trolley and a bunch of dubious black bags. Somehow she holds the key to different times, different eras - including the Blackbury Blitz in 1941. Suddenly now isn't the safe place Johnny once thought it was as he finds himself bound up more and more with then...
