In the darkness of forever, in the cold places beyond the veil, something evil is stirring.
Charlie Picker, last of the Watchers is trying to find out what is happening to his friend Pete 'Bash' Bashir. Locked in the secure wing of a hospital, in a coma for over a year, the police are waiting for him to wake so they can charge him with the murder of the children who went missing in Therwick.
Charlie knows what really killed those children. It wasn't Bash. It wasn't anything from this earth. It was the Nasties, a species older than time, born outside of our normal universe. Terrible creatures that had made their home here and grew fat on the blood of innocents. Charlie knows the Watchers are meant to kill these creatures, to protect the earth from the horrors that squirm and multiply in the gaps between the universes.
And he knows that one day the Nasties will return for him.
As he prepares for that fight, something goes wrong. The veil that protects the earth is damaged. Something else finds a way through.
Charlie finds himself in a desperate race to close the rip, caught between the Nasties and the other foul creatures that roam the darkness of the multiverse. With the help of his friends he must unite the Watchers and prevent the annihilation of the human race.
Quite a lot to ask of a twelve year old.
