France has fallen and the capital is being bombed both day and night  it seems against all odds that Britain can survive the onslaught.

His only daughter, Ava, tells Trave that she would read the newspapers to him every evening, and the night before his death he had become suddenly excited when she read him an obscure obituary notice.At Morrison's funeral, Ava learns from an old colleague that her father worked for MI6 before the War.
