TIM is Tyrannosaurus Improved Model. He's a genetically modified dinosaur that the government have been growing in a secret bunker under Trafalgar Square. And he's on the loose, after the Prime Minister decides he's just too expensive to keep. He's huge and clumsy, and with just a few steps could crush much of central London. He tries to get away but something's calling him back...
Professor Mallahide is very very clever. But also slightly crazy. He's developed an amazing new invention, where nanotechnology means that objects and even people can be taken apart, remodelled, changed and used for any purpose. It's an incredible tool - but also could be a very dangerous weapon in the wrong hands. Unfortunately it's in the hands of a mad scientist...
Chris and Anna are classmates - and after a trip to the British Museum, they're caught up in something very big and scary. Chris is the human link to TIM - can he help control this hugely terrifying but goodhearted monster? And Anna is the Prof's daughter and the only thing keeping him under control . . . for now. Can these two kids help at all as TIM and Professor Mallahide do battle?
A spectacular novel of goodies and baddies fighting it out in London, using Big Ben as a spear and throwing themselves into Buckingham Palace. Hilarious, wild and utterly original.
He's big, he's moody, he has a tail that could crush the Houses of Parliament . . . and he's all that stands between the earth and total destruction. (Oh, and he's actually pretty nice, razor-sharp car-sized teeth notwithstanding).
TIM (that's Tyrannosaurus Improved Model) is the product of a top secret military experiment. He lives in a secret bunker under Trafalgar Square - but now the government has decided he's too expensive to keep and Tim must make a break for it.
He forms an unlikely alliance with fourteen year old Chris and his classmate Anna in order to save humanity from the greatest threat it has ever known: Anna's father, the brilliant but demented Professor Mallahide and his growing swarm of vicious nanobots.
The stage is set for a spectacular showdown the likes of which London has never seen. Who will prevail? The terrifying Professor Mallahide, or TIM, DEFENDER OF THE EARTH...?
