Agent John Bentick was not enjoying his latest assignment for British Intelligence - personal bodyguard to Nargan, a foreign diplomat who had flown to Britain on a covert mission to exchange military secrets.
His discomfort lay with the obnoxious ill-manners of Nargan himself. But on their arrival at the isolated house of British scientist Professor Dale - where the exchange was to be effected - Bentick soon sensed a greater danger.
The house was permeated with an atmosphere of strange tensions, of mystery and menace generated by Dale's latest invention... a sinister machine that was somehow shaping the destiny of everyone in the house. And Bentick found himself a helpless pawn in a figurative chess game that could only end in death...
