TARDIS: "The damp cellerage reverberated to the harsh, grinding, almost metallic sound.  The flickering lamplight was augmented by flashes of white brilliance that strobed in time to the grating sound.  Then, with a sudden thump of sound, the noise and the light both ceased abruptly.
    In one dimly lit corner, a large blue box now stood where moments earlier had been bare flagstones and shadow."

The history books were clear: the once proud Haddron Empire, fatally weakened by civil war, was finally brought to its knees by a catastrophic explosion.  But, then again, history books can lie…

Landing in what seems to be a medieval castle, the Doctor and his friends discover that the final act of a drama that has torn apart a stellar empire is being played out around them.

Who is the man in the mask, and how are his chess games linked to life and death in his fortress prison?  What is the secret of the suits of armour which line the banqueting hall?  Who is on the battle cruiser that is getting closer all the time, and what will they want when they finally arrive?

The pieces are all in place, and the TARDIS crew soon find themselves under siege.  With both deadly robot troops and human traitors to defeat, it seems the future of the entire empire hangs in the balance...

Author(s)

Justin Richards  
Birth: 14 Sep 1961 Epping, Essex, United Kingdom
Notes:
From the back of the book Time Zero

Justin Richards has no cat.  He might (or might not) have had a cat when he was a child, but if he did he never ever put it in a box.  He does have two children, but that's not the same thing at all.  Believe me, if you have a cat and you're thinking of trading up for kids, there is a big difference.

When he isn't busy with his children, Justin acts as Creative Consultant to BBC Worldwide's various Doctor Who book ranges as well as doing some writing of his own - novels, audios, television, non fiction and other 'stuff'.  Presumably this is done during the time he would have had to spend with the cat, so given that Justin never has enough time for writing, he's thinking of not getting another one.

  • 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.
