Dare Cassandra turn her back on the Master?
Alone in the middle of the Pacific, on an Island where the nuclear powered Wren is safe from all government interference, Cassandra takes her flying to new heights. However they are not really alone; and Dr. Tregont does not seem to appreciate the danger the Master presents; even though he built the Wren to counter exactly this hazard.
Cassandra Samantha Reid; child prodigy and master-class pilot. The Wren: nuclear-powered war machine with space capabilities; vast power and depths unplumbed even by its creator. Together the girl and the machine seem able to do anything, go anywhere but Doctor Tregont, creator of the Wren, knows full well that together they may not be enough. There is in the black of space a peril that threatens more than the power balances on Earth; hurtling through the terrible void is a menace that seeks to destroy all life on the face of the world. Nevertheless the danger that is hurtling through space towards them is simple and clear, unlike the danger that is waiting for its chance on Black Crag itself. Cassandra soon discovers that being the best and having the only lethal weapon in the universe, is not enough when she realises that she can no longer trust anybody; the Doctor, the Wren, or herself.
