198 The Avalanche part one

Austria, 1973. 

As snow falls on an abandoned hotel, Hastings, a private detective, prepares to interrogate three people he is holding against their will. Suspecting a connection between them and a mysterious thief known as The Fireman, he won’t give up until he has answers to all of his questions. 

Yet Dellah, Raphael and Leonie have quite the story to tell: of ethereal voices in the storm, of two strangers from another time, of a devastating avalanche and of the menacing force of the Ushanra.

But how much can Hastings trust their tall tale? There’s no such thing as aliens and there’s nothing out in the snow, right? And all this talk of the Doctor and Georgie is made up, isn’t it?
