Glitch in the Machine – An (chapter 8)
A thousand horses – the wild – the free – like waves that follow o’er the sea, came thickly thundering on. “Colonel Freeman?” Ayshea’s tone was hesitant, as she approached him, several prints in her hands.

My rucksack was loaded with goodies such as Alan Shubrook’s wonderful ‘Century 21 FX Update’, the excellent Graham Bleathman book ‘Inside the World of Gerry Anderson’ and the new Marcus Hearn book…
