Jason Elford is a young man on the run. He has been running all his life but there is no escape from the insidious Shadows. He sits in a motorway service station drinking cold tea when events lead him to the end of his lonely road, only to set him upon an infinitely more dangerous one. He had always believed the Shadows were part of his own, personal Hell, but he learns they are a threat of a much greater magnitude, where the Shadows are the eyes of another-world power, and mankind is its prey. Back Cover text: Sex, and constant travel: the only activities that give Jason respite from the insidious Shadows. Either on the run, or on the prowl, his life is spent traversing Britain's motorway networks, trying to keep one step ahead of his nemesis. There is no escape, only short periods of relief. Jason has always believed that the dark beings are a curse, attributable to an aberration of the mind. But one day he learns they are a threat of a much greater magnitude. They are the eyes of a hunter, and mankind is its prey.
