The sequel to Susan Price's imaginative tour de force, The Sterkarm Handshake.

The Time Tube is back on-line, and FUP are back in the sixteenth century, out for all they can get from the moronic peasant-folk, the Sterkarms.

The moronic peasant-folk who destroyed all their plans and invaded the twenty-first century last time around...But this time FUP have everything under control.

This is a whole new bunch of Sterkarms, and they're not going to get out of hand.

After all, this time they have the ultimate weapon - love.

But do the Sterkarms see love quite the same way? Just how much faith can you put in a Sterkarm Kiss?
