After his glorious victory over the Caponians and saving the world in 1988, Zak McKracken has once again ended up right where he started: writing absurd headlines for the National Infiltrator. But the peace is deceptive.
It all begins with a mysterious dream about a flight to Zurich that leaves Zak waking up in a cold sweat. Shortly thereafter, events spiral out of control. Strange phenomena are piling up worldwide, and it quickly becomes clear: the aliens are back – and their plan for the gradual dumbing down of humanity is more refined and dangerous than ever before.
"This time, it's not just about a machine on Mars. It's about the very fabric of time and space."
Together with old companions and new allies, Zak embarks on a global scavenger hunt. From the dusty streets of San Francisco to the romantic alleys of Paris, the misty highlands of Scotland, the mysterious ruins of Mexico, and finally to an uncertain future beyond our imagination.
