Nick's never going to escape this nightmare alone - but, luckily, he doesn't have to. (I'd like to thank all my fellow uka-nuts who suggested a continuation of the supposedly complete "No Going Back", plus some ideas that just hadn't occured to me. Trouble is, it sort of stretched to three parts! Bad luck!)

All during the night of December 29th, 1940, firestorms raged throughout London. A second wave of German bombers was supposed to follow up the first and wipe London from the face of the earth. That would have surely been the case, except that a weather front prevented the second air assault from taking place. The planes had to return to Germany, still loaded with their bomb payloads. Hitler was livid. Carlie Huntington's dialog is written by the talented Jolen * * *
