That "raw spot in Mother Earth's side promises to explain the true nature of Earth's disturbances, the crustal movements appearing to extend along the edges of the skinless areas.

The hazards of Gemma's career are indicated in the first scene by the fantastic means she uses for walking in on a conventional British family having tea in a rented Venetian Palace. She arrives with a party of touring schoolchildren, runs upstairs to hide...
