Doctor How and the Deadly Anemones
by Mark Speed
Something ate the Rindan consul and her husband alive. And now it’s eating humans. The extraterrestrial diplomatic community blames Doctor How’s negligence. He and his assistants try to deal with the alien threat quietly, but events spiral out of control when the MI6 headquarters and US embassy come under attack. Meantime, Doctor How’s cousin When has neglected to tell him about a far greater danger, which threatens to destroy the power of the Time Keepers. Doctor How, his assistant Kevin, and morphing alien superpredator Trinity must exterminate the vermin and find out who's behind the plot to neutralise the power of the Time Keepers. Can they do it whilst keeping one step ahead of MI6, the Metropolitan Police and a crack unit of US Navy SEALs?About the AuthorMark Speed finished writing his first novel at the age of fifteen.
