Synopsis
All of history is secrets and lies. The present is just a cover story. Metahominids*: M ta'h m'i'n dz: (pl.) n. meaning: Other Men Ancient Greek: meta = other, hominids = men. *From Doctor John Dee's 1583 'Inventory of Magickal Correspondences' Now we link takes of lost time and abduction with aliens. Centuries ago they blamed evil fairies. When Queen Elizabeth the First and her charismatic astrologer, Dr. John Dee created D9, they started the longest secret war in history. A war that still rages. Today an embattled D9 faces many enemies - short-sighted government cuts, a traitor within and a reckless amateur, hell-bent on breaking open ancient secrets. When the malign forces regroup and attack again in even greater numbers, we can only hope that the ragged remnants of D9 are fit for duty. Whether the enemy are forces of elemental nature or aliens isn't the issue... you won't care what they're called when they come for you...
