Topher is planning a trip to London to visit his friend Ellie but will it be
safe, with all the terrorist threats? It worries him, and so do the extended
absences of his beloved cat, Ka.

She is going travelling again, and Topher doesnt want to lose her. And sure
enough, in the middle of a big bomb alert, Topher is called away to a Saxon
village threatened by Norsemen.

Now he must get the villagers to heed his warning and foil the aggressors led
by the terrifying Viking, Ingwar the Boneless, infamous for his cruelty and
devious tricks.

Topher travels to Saxon England, under threat of Viking invasion, just when a
terrorist bomb hits modern London.
