The novel “Downtime – Child of the New World” by Andy Frankham-Allen was published for the first time in 2020.

Alistair Lethbridge-Stewart managed to build a relationship with his daughter Kate and see his grandson Gordon regularly. The fact that Gordon also built a relationship with his cousin Conall is another great achievement. However, this slowly built harmony suffers a terrible blow when the two cousins get kidnapped.

The old world of Alistair Lethbridge-Stewart seems to suck him back, also because the Great Intelligence seems once again involved in the problems that struck his daughter Kate and his grandson Gordon. To save his grandchildren, Lethbridge-Stewart enlists the help of old friends and colleagues in a mission unlike any other in which his family’s role is crucial.
