UNDER THE COVER of a fading twilight,
Stephen Wraysford narrowed his eyes against the drizzle. The men in front
were invisible beneath the bulk of their clothes and the quantities of kit
they were carrying. They looked as though they were bound for an
expedition to the pole, explorers to the furthest regions. Stephen
wondered what force impelled him, as his legs moved forward once more.
