Ampersand is one of The Seven Professors involved in a project to develop a university on the island of Nordbergen off the coast of Norway and Russia. Thirty-five years earlier the dream turned sour as one of the group destroyed the university, stranded the other six members and fled without trace. Now, he has returned to finish the job. Ampersand summons the rest of the group and, with the help of the children, becomes embroiled in a race to unravel the mysterious secret that lies deep within the island of Nordbergen...
