Tapestry

Als George im Dschungel ein Flugzeugwrack entdeckt, gerät er sogleich in die Gewalt des offensichtlich geisteskranken Piloten Drummond, der den Absturz überlebt hat und fest daran glaubt, dass der Krieg noch immer nicht vorüber sei! Bald wird klar, dass seinerzeit sowohl Challenger, Miss Krux und Roxton als auch Malone und Summerlee alle in ein und denselben Spionagefall verwickelt waren, in dem Marguerite unter dem Decknamen "Parzival" damals die entscheidenden Fäden zog.

When Challenger discovers the wreckage of a World War I transport plane, he's captured by its pilot, Lieutenant Drummond. Drummond has been stranded for five years since the crash, protecting the plane's cargo crate of iridium ingots stolen from the Royal Navy. Challenger is astounded to see the iridium because it had been intended for his secret wartime research. The sight of it prompts him to remember the night five years earlier, when he was questioned about the theft by two British intelligence agents working for MI5. Back on the Plateau, when Challenger and Drummond arrive at the Treehouse, Marguerite recognizes the iridium, too as she also was a suspect in its theft, and she recalls her own MI5 interrogation, the same night Challenger was questioned. Amazing twists and turns. We find out that there may be more than just coincidence that has brought our small group to the plateau.

Challenger scopre il relitto di una aereo della prima guerra mondiale e viene catturato dal suo pilota, il tenente Drummond. Drummond è bloccato da cinque anni nell'Altopiano, il suo compito era la protezione di una cassa di lingotti di iridio rubato dalla Royal Navy. In seguito si scoprirà che, in passato, nel furto dell'iridio erano stati coinvolti anche Challenger, Marguerite e Roxton.
