TERRORIZER OF THE UNIVERSE


While Doctor Who was exiled on Earth and restricted to the Twentieth Century, the charming but hypnotically evil Master, whose one ambition is to destroy Doctor Who, walked off with the Doomsday Weapon file.

Doctor Who, commanded by the Time Lords to stop the Master - at any cost - is directed to a bleak planet in the year 2471.  Hidden somewhere on that planet is the Doomsday Machine - lurking somewhere in that Time Zone is the Master!

Will Doctor Who, hampered by alien monsters, locate and dismantle the Doomsday Weapon before the Master triggers it?  It's a terrifying countdown affecting all mankind - past, present and forever!

Doctor Who is a mysterious, zany, a very mature Time Lord (750 years mature to be exact) who hurtles through space in a stolen Time Machine.  Since there's a problem with the steering, he never lands exactly when or where he plans to.    This, along with his desperate desire to bring law and order to the universe and his insatiable curiosity, consistently places him in strange and often perilous circumstances.

Doctor Who, created for and by the BBC, is one of the longest running and most popular shows in British television history.  Now this incredible space fantasy can be seen on television in major cities throughout the United States via Time-Life Television.

  • I try to maintain page numbers for audiobooks even though obviously there aren't any. I do this to keep track of pages read and I try to use the Kindle version page numbers for this.
  • Synopses marked with an asterisk (*) were generated by an AI. There aren't a lot since this is an iffy way to do it - AI seems to make stuff up.
  • When specific publication dates are unknown (ie prefixed with a "Cir"), I try to get the publication date that is closest to the specific printing that I can.
  • When listing chapters, I only list chapters relevant to the story. I will usually leave off Author Notes, Indices, Acknowledgements, etc unless they are relevant to the story or the book is non-fiction.
  • Page numbers on this site are for the end of the main story. I normally do not include appendices, extra material, and other miscellaneous stuff at the end of the book in the page count.
