Description
In the heart of post-war London, a bomb is discovered lodged at a disused station between Green Park and Hyde Park Corner. The bomb detonates, and as the dust clears, it becomes apparent that something has been awakened. Strange half-human creatures attack the workers at the site, hungrily searching for anything containing sugar...Meanwhile, Honoré and Emily are contacted by eccentric poet Randolph Crest, who believes himself to be the target of these subterranean creatures. The ensuing show more investigation brings Honoré and Emily up against a terrifying force from deep beneath the earth, and one which even with their combined powers, they may have trouble stopping. Part mystery, part detective story, part dark fantasy, part science fiction...original adventures in time and space.. show less

This is part of a less well-known Doctor Who spinoff series, the Time Hunter novellas published by Telos. I have to say that it left me rather unimpressed, basically a story of inhuman horrors in a post-Blitz London; I seem to have read a number of better eldritch London novels recently.
