In a quiet field in Buckinghamshire, a huge crack has appeared in the earth\'s surface.
But if he\'s right, and they can\'t find a way to destroy the creature roaming the countryside, then it\'s not just Buckinghamshire that could be in danger, but the whole world..

Incinerated beyond recognition.
And people are dying.
