Synopsis: Travels With My Teapot
Nobody suspects a Tea Lady.
Working covertly in Governments, Media Organisations and Global Businesses, the sleeping agents of T-CUP have been waiting, unnoticed, for years.
But now is the time for the Tea Ladies to arise.
Dastardly plans are afoot at the Ministry of Civilised Society - plans which could have dire consequences for those deemed 'unfit' to belong. Daniel F. Helman MP, the darling of the Pinke Government and apparent defender of all things multicultural, is plotting something entirely different behind closed doors. It seems that nobody can stop him - not even maverick young journalist, Seymour Smith...
Meanwhile, Lottie Derring-Do is starting to realise just how special she is - much to the exasperation of her older brother Sid. And now she has discovered the right portal, it seems that the prophecy proclaimed over her at birth might just be coming true...
With time running out (in several dimensions), Lottie, Sid, Seymour and T-CUP's special agents must work together to stop the Helman Plan for Civilisation in a breathless race against rogue officials, the forces of evil and sub-standard bourbons...
