This is a collection of short stories based on Doctor Who, the long running British science-fiction television show.  This continues a short story collection originally introduced by Virgin Publishing's Doctor Who series.

'Hoist by his own petard,' the Doctor murmurs approvingly.  He himself can barely stand, but he takes the time to bind the Master's hands with a length of rope.  As he retrieves the cube, he takes a final look at his fallen foe.  'I'm truly sorry, old chap,' he says, 'but you have left me no choice.'  Then he heads for the Freedom building, running awkwardly beneath a blood-red sky, to save a world.
    Soon, everything will return to normal.  UNIT troops will take the Master back into custody, hopefully before he awakes.  He will face many years trapped between four walls.  The Doctor can sympathise, more than ever before.  For him, too, freedom is a pipe dream.  Even had he made good his escape, the Time Lords would have found him eventually.  Still, there is a twinge of disappointment as he feels his knowledge of time travel being once more sapped from his mind.
    He is as much a prisoner here as the Master.
