Time
You can't see it. Only now and again. Perhaps a glimpse, that's all.
But even that is dangerous.

Sapphire and Steel arrived — from who knows where? — and first appeared on television screens in 1979. Now the stories are becoming available again, as video cassettes, and a new generation is being charmed, terrified and enthralled by the duo of strange psychic investigators.

This novel, written by the creator of the TV series, tells the story of the first adventure shown on television. P.J. Hammond, who wrote all the Sapphire and Steel scripts, has written a new introduction for this new edition of his long out-of-print novel.

Rob's father collects clocks. They tick reassuringly throughout the house. And then, suddenly, they all fall silent. In the bedroom of Rob's little sister, Rob's father and mother disappear. It is as if they have never existed. The two strangers who arrive at the house know more than they are telling. They are Sapphire and Steel.
