The heat is stifling, the noise a deafening chatter of clack-click-clacking and the smell a suffocating stench of oil, grease and hot machinery. And it all came from those two great slab-like machines standing in the middle of Hut No. 1 at Bletchley Park. ‘Meet ‘Victory’ and ‘Aggie’, they’re code-breaking machines! They help us do our thinking, so that we can go on breaking Germany’s Enigma codes’ shouts Professor Turing above the noise. Danny suddenly realizes that what he is looking at is Turing’s now famous machine that gave birth to the modern computer! Danny Higgins has been working secretly as an agent for SHARP, the Scientific History and Art Reclamation Programme, set up some time in the future by a scientifically advanced ‘humankind’ after the Dark Chaos when all historical records were lost and the future of civilization lay in the balance.
