"Last
in the multi-book ‘Falcon’ series published by Sphere Books in the UK,
written by Mark Smith and Jamie Thompson. This was a very unusual
picture, even by Peter’s standards of variety and contrasting
iconography!
The compositioning was quite a challenge with a very
tight space into which multiple items had to be placed. Each had to be
dynamic in nature. Probably Peter’s interest in aviation, especially
military aviation of the WWII era which has, by default, a connection
with other military equipment and vehicles such as tanks, aided him in
rendering both historically accurate and imaginative futuristic
elements.
The plot
(taken from the back cover of the Sphere paperback) >
"Trap door through time!
Fate
has hurled you into a vortex of unbelievable horror - a vital flaw in
the fabric of time that sends everything that has ever been or ever
will be plummeting towards the cosmic scrapheap that marks the very end
of time. Impossible creatures from ten millions years ago - or hence -
hurtle past as you struggle to escape your onward plunge into oblivion.
The slightest error of judgement on your part, or a momentary
hesitation, and all will be lost - and you'll never again be able to
find your way back through that terrifying trapdoor in time!"
