It is silent, has no birds or animals, and even the ancient buildings look brand new. There, they meet their future cousin Serena Shipton, who explains that she created the village using nanobots. Serena is fascinated by the visitors from 1948 and takes them to her futuristic home, a replica of Baddesley Clinton.As John and Sybil learn about the future, they discover computers, nanobots, avatars and a vast Computer Centre controlling much of the surviving world.

Beneath a glacier, they discover a hidden underground vault containing millions of preserved seeds.John's simple idea could provide the future with the seeds and soil resources needed to restore agriculture and rebuild the natural world. The adventure ends with the realisation that actions taken by John and Sybil in the past may already have shaped the future they have just visited.…
