SHIFT is very pleased to welcome Mad Robot's Beyond Thunder Child to its pages.

For everyone who backed and enjoyed the original Thunder Child series, the story isn't over.

Beyond Thunder Child continues the saga in a Britain devastated by Martian invasion, picking up the threads left in the wake of the Thunder Child's heroic sacrifice. Across SHIFT Volume 3, Issues 5-10, readers will experience three brand-new interconnected three-part stories exploring courage, loss, survival and resistance in a world forever changed.

Created especially for fans eager to return to this universe, this exclusive pre-order collection is the perfect way to continue the journey and ensure you don't miss a single chapter.

Featuring Three Complete Stories 

The Lights in the East

A traumatised and battle-weary Major hides from both the invaders and his own memories in occupied Lowestoft. When circumstances force him into contact with a growing resistance movement, he must choose between surrendering to fear or rediscovering the fighting spirit that once drove him forward.

Written by Rob Jones • Art by Ben Æ Filby

Crimson Tide
Left behind when the Thunder Child sailed, Alfie joins a desperate flotilla of refugees seeking safety by sea. But strange red weed, impenetrable fog, and dangers both familiar and unknown turn their escape into a nightmare journey where past regrets may demand a terrible price.

Written by Andy Lanning • Art by Norrie

Dreams Tinted Red
A woman awakes in a military hospital plagued by vivid visions of destruction, impossible memories and unanswered questions. As she follows a trail that leads back to the Major, she finds herself at the centre of a mystery whose secrets could reshape everything she thought she knew.

Written by Matthew Hardy • Art by Geoff Senior
