"It's only just a simple train journey." Ramesh said to Andrew Gold. That was true, he wasn't lying to his friend, it just happened to be the Siberian Express, the longest on Earth. Still, they knew they couldn't fly to the world's coldest city carrying an ancient alien weapon in their luggage. And what was waiting for the group of travellers at the end of this journey? "You will know it when you see it." The fate of the entire human race hinged on the success of this last mission. A titanic clash was edging closer with every passing piece of rail track. The victor would decide the fate of this perfectly placed spinning ball of rock. The loser ...dust, blown away in the breeze.

Betrayed and separated, Andrew Gold is in the worst place. Things go from bad to worse when his ex-wife threatens to move away from the area, taking their kids with her. Then, just to complicate things further, the caretaker at his new job, John, chooses him to be the recipient of his supernaturalability to heal one person of anything between dawn and dusk.

Rule number one is ...don't use it for selfish reasons, which is easiersaid than done when the cause of all your misery is just within touching distance...

Then, digging at a construction site on the edge of town unearthed something evil from the past. Protestors who chained themselves to digging machinery overnight got more than they bargained for when something crawled out from deep in the ground. Signs in the night sky heralded the return of an ancient race with designs on planet Earth. Just who were the ancient cult of star watchers, with their mysterious gem-stoned rings? Everywhere was about to get a lot colder...
