Three-hundred-and-twenty-nine years in Mankind's future, at exactly 8:12am, the fate of the World lies in the clammy, shaking hands of one young boy.

When War came to Australia, in 1914, fifteen-year-old Wilfred Wendt's life started going horribly wrong. In 1916 -- his Mother dead, his Father missing in action on the Western Front -- Wilfred fakes his age and enlists for service in France. "... You would not tell with such high zest, To children -- ardent for some desperate glory, The old Lie; Dulce et Decorum est Pro Patria Mori..." ~ Dulce Et Decorum Est by Wilfred Owen
