Press Release: SIGNET: Feast for the Hervoken

A threat from the dawn of history returns to corrupt a quaint English town in SIGNET: Feast for the Hervoken by Charles EP Murphy. 

The Hervoken first appeared in Doctor Who: Forever Autumn by Mark Morris, where they encountered the Tenth Doctor in a spooky Halloween adventure.

“The Hervoken have been a favourite of mine ever since I read Forever Autumn all those years ago,” explains SIGNET creator and range editor James Hornby. “The opportunity to bring them back for a full-length adventure was too good to pass up. Mark Morris was happy to allow their use, and Charles expertly set about weaving a tale together that would push the SIGNET team to their limits.”

“SIGNET are a team of scrappy underdogs who are trying their best to find non-violent solutions and compromises, while the Hervoken are inhuman sociopaths that eat our pain,” says author Charles EP Murphy. “What happens when you slam these two things together? Can Charles Zoltan and his team hold on to their core belief, and can they also avoid violent death? All this and what each character is going to play on the radio on a long drive to missions.”

“The Hervoken are a horror from before recorded time. They have a form of physics akin to black magic. They feed on our pain and don't see us as real people. They should be extinct.

The Hervoken have taken a town as their feeding ground.

SIGNET stand out among Earth's counter-alien organisations by talking first. Charles Zoltan founded it to help Earth and aliens to coexist in peace. Underfunded, understaffed, and underappreciated, the team have faced death and saved the world while holding onto their moral code. But in the face of the Hervoken's cruelty, that code is in danger of breaking...”

SIGNET: Feast for the Hervoken will be available on 28 May in ebook and print formats in most territories.
