Harry Brigandshaw is presumed dead, missing in the wilds of Africa. And Colonial Shipping is stolen.

Tina is miserable on Elephant Walk whilst the new generation of Brigandshaws and St Clairs are on the threshold of new beginnings. Young, carefree, full of excitement and eager for success. The Great War is behind them, the world has licked their wounds and a new future beckons.

But menacing undercurrents are permeating. There's talk. The Fourth Estate spinning their stories. Scaremongering. Rumours. Hitler inciting hatred. His power seductive. Yet the Allies are grinding Germany into the dust but for how long? The Gestapo and the Brownshirts are lurking, raising national pride, waiting to strike.

And back in England, the youngsters are living the high life, trying to ignore the gossip. But how can they when all the signs are there for the inevitable?

It's the calm before the storm! The world is on the brink of tears.
