control. More, Dragosani has murdered a colleague, Max Batu the Mongol, in order to steal the secret of his killing eye. He can now kill at a glance!

Time is short and Harry must follow Dragosani back to the USSR - to Soviet E-Branch headquarters at the Chateau Bronnitsy, where the vampire is now Supremo - and there kill him.
But how? Harry is no spy.

A British precog (an agent with the ability to scan vague details of the future) has foreseen Harry's involvement not only with vampires but also in connection with the twisted figure 8
sigil of the M├╢bius Strip. To get to Dragosani he must first understand the M├╢bius connection. Here at least Harry is on familiar ground; for August Ferdinand M├╢bius has been dead
since 1868, and the dead will do anything for Harry Keogh.

In Leipzig Harry visits M├╢bius's grave and discovers the long-expired mathematician and astronomer at work on his space-time equations. What he did in life he continues, undisturbed,
to do in death; and in the course of a century he has reduced the physical universe to a set of mathematical symbols. He knows how to bend space-time and ride his M├╢bius Strip out to
the stars! Teleportation: an easy route into the Chateau Bronnitsy - or anywhere else, for that matter. Fine, but all Harry has is an intuitive grasp of math's - and he certainly doesn't have a
hundred years! Still, he has to start somewhere.

For days M├╢bius instructs Harry, until his pupil is sure that the answer lies right here, just an inch beyond his grasp. He only needs a spur, and . . .

The East German GREPO (Grenz Polizei) have their eye on Harry. On the orders of Dragosani they try to arrest him in the Leipzig graveyard - and this is the spur he needs. Suddenly
M├╢bius's equations are no longer meaningless figures and symbols: they are a doorway into the strange immaterial universe of the M├╢bius Continuum! Harry conjures a M├╢bius door and
escapes from the GREPO trap; by trial and error he learns how to use this weird and until now entirely conjectural parallel universe; eventually he projects himself into the grounds of
Soviet E-Branch HQ.

Gasping his shock

Against the armoured might of the Chateau Bronnitsy, Harry's task seems nigh impossible: he needs allies. And he finds them. The chateau's grounds are waterlogged, peaty, white under
the crisp snow of a Russian winter -but not frozen. And down in the peat, preserved through four centuries since a time when Moscow was sacked by a band of Crimean Tartars, the
remains of that butchered band stir and begin to rise up!

With his zombie army Harry advances into the chateau, destroys its defences, seeks out and kills Dragosani and his vampire tenant. In the fight he too is killed; his body dies; but in the
last moment his mind, his will, transfers to the metaphysical M├╢bius Continuum.

And riding the M├╢bius Strip into future time, Harry's id is absorbed into the unformed infant mentality ... of his own son!
