From the back cover:In a breathtaking sci-fi shocker, L.P. Davies brings together three men from the farthest regions of space and time, spinning a web of excitement and intrigue which turns a peaceful, sleepy village into a nightmare of violence, horror and death. There was Murchison, the long haired youth in a black leather jacket, a wanderer who stood at the side of a lonely country road thumbing a lift...in any direction. There was Edward Garvey, who cowered in his room, afraid to sleep because of the fantastic dreams that sleep would bring. And a million light years away, on the planet Andrida, somewhere on the dark fringes of the Galaxy, there was Argred, the dying man who dragged himself through the caverns of the Lost Moon in search of a legendary secret.
