Product Description

Developers are planning to destroy Brentford's beloved soccer grounds. Something must be done, and the men of The Flying Swan—Brentford’s celebrated drinking house—take up the challenge. Norman has recently discovered a Victorian computer that holds the secrets of the super-technology of a bygone age, and Archroy has just returned from his seventh voyage with the fabled Golden Fleece. Surely, with these stalwarts working for the cause, the field is as good as saved. But this is Brentford, and the ancient forces of evil—Old Testament horrors, beasts from the bottomless pit, and Lovecraftian demons—are stirring.
