Produktbeschreibung

Something peculiar was happening in the grounds of Dr Liskard's remote country home. It was surrounded by enormous, near-prehistoric creatures that could only be seen through the telescope he usually used to study the stars.
Before he could announce the phenomenon to the authorities, he needed independent corroborationso he invited his publisher to join his niece and her husband at the isolated house to see for themselves.
They quickly discovered that, as incredible as it seemed, the doctor was right.
But what did these strange visitors want? Why did they surround the house every night and just ... watch? What were they looking for?
Then Dr Liskard vanished, and so did his pretty German housekeeper. Psychic phenomena began to manifest itself until the Government sent its top scientist to solve the mystery.
But it wasn't going to be as simple as that. Something equally terrifying was happening below ground. Something that might just spell the end for humanity.

John Richard Newton Chance was born in Streatham Hill, London, in 1911, the son of Dick Chance, a managing editor at the Amalgamated Press. He studied to become a civil engineer, and then took up quantity surveying, but gave it up at 21 to become a full-time writer. He wrote for his father's titles, including "Dane, the Dog Detective" for Illustrated Chips, and a number of stories for the Sexton Blake Library and The Thriller Library. He went on to write over 150 science fiction, mystery and children's books and numerous short stories under various names, including John Lymington, John Drummond, David C. Newton, Jonathan Chance and Desmond Reid. Including 20+ SF potboilers, adding that he "made a steady income by delivering thrillers to Robert Hale (the UK publisher) at a chapter a week". His novel Night of the Big Heat was adapted to television in 1960 and to film, starring Christopher Lee and Peter Cushing, in 1967.
