When Mia washes up on a remote beach, barely alive and suffering from amnesia, there's only one thing she knows for certain: Everyone she loves is dead. Sheltered by a tiny Irish community, her healing warmth brings joy and relief to strangers, but her returning memory tells a different story - of terrible things she's done. All she wants is to disappear forever, but the truth is catching up with her; a shadowy presence is messing with her mind; and enemies are closing in.

Night after night Elena, Matt, and Tima wake at exactly the same time, with no idea why. It's messing up their lives - so they venture out into the dark and find each other.

Something is happening over on the industrial estate, something which is emitting sounds that only they can hear, and it's killing any winged thing that crosses its path. There's nobody to fight it but themselves!

1.34 a.m. It's always 1.34 a.m. Every night without fail, at 1.34 a.m. on the dot, Elena, Matt and Tima wake up. Except, something's changed. The beam that gave them the ability to communicate telepathically with animals has started to come through early. And that's because the Earth is slowing down.

Or could this mean the end of everything?

The Night Speakers are investigating, but even they, with their incredible powers of communication with the animal world, are struggling to find out the truth. But Spin's got a ringside seat, and he's about to come out of the shadows....

Since the 1.34 a.m. wake-up calls began, Elena, Matt and Tima all had the power to talk to animals, birds and insects like no other human could.

Like having to stop the world from ending. You can fit a lot in your day when you don't sleep.
