Аннотация

British naval lieutenant Alan Querdillon becomes a POW during the Battle of Crete during World War II. After escaping, and travelling through a forest he runs into a barrier of 'Bohlen Rays', is knocked unconscious and awakens in a Nazi controlled world at least a hundred years after World War II on the estate of the Reich Master Forester, Count Hans von Hackelnberg.
Querdillon is treated by a doctor and at night hears the sounds of a hunting horn, which a nurse tells him is the Count hunting. After witnessing a hunt and discovering the prey are women dressed as birds, Querdillon asks to meet the Count. The doctor says this is too dangerous, but takes Querdillon to observe the Count feasting.
Querdillon manages to escape the doctor and join the Count's entourage to witness genetically modified leopard-women attacking deer. On the way back from the sport, the Count spots Querdillon and orders him released into the forest to be hunted. Querdillon plans to escape by tunnelling under the barrier that surrounds the estate. He also meets one of the bird-women, Kit, who helps him.
Eventually, Querdillon and Kit are hunted down by the Count, but Kit sacrifices herself to draw the leopard-woman pack onto the barrier, killing them. When the barrier is turned off to retrieve the bodies, Querdillon slips across and returns to 1943.
