Dave and Louise are arch rivals in Crisis Crater, the new combat game on the Web but when they fall foul of the shadowy conspirators and paranoid webcops who are all drawn to the Cydonia conspiracy on the Web, they soon find that the only way to survive is to trust someone else and join forces. Arrested by the Webcops, threatened by Scots Nationalists and American Militiamen, things apparently couldn't get worse. But they can. Why are some of the phases in the web acting so strangely? What has got into them? The answer is out of this world. And by comparison any of the mysteries in Cydonia are just kids stuff..
