Super powers. A time machine. What could possibly go wrong...?

The universe is under threat from a killer robot arm from outer space. It seems everyone is after that arm, including Britain's MI7, Russia's KGB2, the Intergalactic Bureau of Investigation (known as the Men in Tweed) and the terrifying Space Police in their size 23 razorboots.

If anyone can save the day, it's the Companions in Space and Time.

But just as the team get on top of the situation, Area 51 scientist Isaac Dewey Thinker reveals the truth: the robot, hellbent on destroying every living thing in the universe, can be destroyed only when fully assembled.

A dark yet playfully comic science fiction adventure for those up for a wild ride through space and time.
