In the city-state of Hokesh, time plays tricks; the present is unreliable, the future impossible to intimate. A derelict street child, Joey Quine, finds himself subject to horrifying visions and fugues. His only friend in this, the only one to whom he can turn for help, is a mysterious stranger who calls herself Ace.

And in an unknowable future the Doctor is busily inciting a state of bloody unrest, on the basis that one must be cruel to be kind -- simultaneously, for preference. The Glorious Ruler of the city, Magnus Solaris, is worried: his memory is failing him; his influence deserting him; his city is falling apart. What is happening to him truly? Only the Doctor knows -- and he’s not telling.

There is worse to come. As both world and time crumble, Magnus Solaris and Joey Quine will unearth secrets the like of which nobody in Hokesh could have ever possibly suspected.

The Doctor and his companions land in the city of Arkhaven, the last bastion of civilisation in a doomed world.

The inhabitants of the city are pinning all their hopes on a final desperate gamble for survival.  Behind the scenes there are jealous factions at work, secretly contesting for the chance to shape the destiny of a new world.  Beneath its ordered surface, Arkhaven is a city of secrets and mysteries where outward appearances can be deceptive.

Is the thing they call the 'Creeper' really at large in Arkhaven's eerie outer zone - and is it beast or machine?  What is the hidden force at work that has acted so strangely upon Susan?

With Barbara lost and the countdown to doomsday drawing to a climax, the Doctor must discover the true nature of the final enemy - or is that enemy simply fear itself?

'Nothing can get into the TARDIS,' the Doctor whispered.  Then he realized that Nothing had.

New Orleans, the early 21st century.  A dealer in morbid artefacts has been murdered.  A charm carved from human bone is missing.  An old plantation, miles from any water, has been destroyed by a tidal wave.

Anji goes dancing.  Fitz goes grave-robbing.  The Doctor attracts the interest of a homicide detective and the enmity of a would-be magician.  He wants to find out the secret of the redneck thief and his blind wife.  He'd like to help the crippled curator of a museum of magic.  He's trying to refuse politely the request of a crazy young artist that he pose naked with the man's wife.

Most of all, he needs to figure out what all of them have to do with the Void that is hunting him down.

Before it catches him.

In 1920s London the Doctor and Rose find themselves caught up in the hunt for a murderer. But not everyone or everything is what they seem.

Secrets lie behind locked doors and inhuman killers roam the streets. Who is the Painted Lady and why is she so interested in the Doctor? How can a cat return from the dead? Can anyone be trusted to tell - or even to know - the truth?

With faceless killers closing in, the Doctor and Rose must solve the mystery of the Clockwise Man before London itself is destroyed...

COLD FUSION
AN ORIGINAL NOVEL FEATURING THE FIFTH DOCTOR, ADRIC, NYSSA AND TEGAN

'THE ENTIRE UNIVERSE IS AT STAKE AND I'M LOCKED IN HERE WITH ANOTHER INCARNATION OF MYSELF, AND NOT EVEN ONE OF THE GOOD ONES.'

More than one TARDIS lands on a barren ice world.  The fifth Doctor, Adric, Nyssa and Tegan find a once ordered society on the verge of collapse, as rebels wage a dirty war with Scientifica, the ruling elite.  All that stands between order and anarchy is the massed presence of an Adjudicator peacekeeping force.

But is peace the only reason for the Adjudicator garrison?  What exactly has been discovered deep beneath the planet's surface?  Who are the mysterious Ferutu?  And why is telling a ghost story a criminal offence?

The fifth Doctor sides with the cause of justice and fairness as always.  But, as a threat to the universe unfolds, he finds himself in conflict with his past... and his future.

This adventure takes place between the television stories CASTROVALVA and FOUR TO DOOMSDAY and between the New Adventures RETURN OF THE LIVING DAD and THE DEATH OF ART.

This is LANCE PARKIN's third DOCTOR WHO book, and that's just this year.  This latest one has more robots than his first and fewer footnotes than the second.

The Doctor. Fitz and Compassion arrive on the planet Eskon - a strange world of ice and fire.  Far beneath the planet's burning surface are vast lakes frozen solid by the glacial subterranean temperature.

But the civilised community that relies on the ice reservoirs for its survival has more to worry about than a shortage of water.  The hideous slimers - degenerate mutations in the population - are growing more hostile by the moment, and their fanatical leader will stop at nothing to exact revenge against those in authority.  But what connects the slimers to the unknown horror that lurks deep beneath the ice?  And what is the terrible truth that the city leaders will do anything to conceal?

To unearth the ugliest secrets of Eskon, the TARDIS crew becomes involved in a desperate conflict.  While Fitz is embroiled in the deadly plans of the slimers, the Doctor and Compassion must lead a danger-fraught subterranean expedition to prevent a disaster that could destroy the very essence of Eskon… its cold heart.

According to popular legend, the great humanitarian Stewart Ransom founded the Independent Earth Colony on Axista Four in the year 2439, but the truth is not as neat and simple as the legend would suggest...

The year is 2539.  Arriving on Axista Four the Doctor, Zoe and Jamie find the colony in a state of chaos.  A breakaway group of colonists - the 'Realists' - has abandoned Ransom's Back to Basics ideals and is creating a new high-tech settlement.  The 'Loyalists' who remain are dwindling in number and face total extinction.

Meanwhile, a spaceship from Earth has arrived with news that 80,000 refugees are about to descend upon the planet; the Realists are staging raids on the wreck of the colony ship, and in a secret underground bunker mysterious aliens who claim to be the planet's first colonists are beginning to awake.

Who are the dog-like aliens who call themselves Tyrenians?  What is the secret agenda of the sinister Federation Administrator Greene?  And what really happened when the colony ship crash-landed on Axista Four 100 years ago?

This adventure features the Second Doctor, Zoe and Jamie and the Seventh Doctor and Ace.

When 400-year-old tribal mummies inexplicably return to life and begin murdering tourists on an exotic alien island, the Doctor's initial urge to investigate lands himself, Jamie and Victoria right in the middle of a jungle holocaust.

Ferocious cannibals and deadly beasts stalk the swamps, mummies lurk amongst the trees and the peaceful, civilised locals are reverting to long-forgotten head-hunting practices. Something is giving a clarion call to savagery, something that can only be found in the deepest darkness at the heart of the hostile rainforest.

It could be the end of the river for the TARDIS companions as they find themselves involved in a horrific jungle conflict between desperate guerilla tribesmen and merciless colonial forces. Cannibalism could be the least of the worries as evil stirs the pot and the dead reach for the living...

This adventure features the Second Doctor, Jamie and Victoria.

An extraordinary discovery in the Valley of the Kings leaves historians bemused and asking the question…

…Who was Erimem?

The only daughter of the great Pharaoh Amenhotep II, Princess Erimemushinteperem has lived a comfortable, privileged life safe in Pharaoh's luxurious palace in Thebes, surrounded by servants, slaves and friends. But her sixteenth year will bring Erimem and her brothers into contact with war, death, treachery, assassins and tragedy, and will lead her to a destiny she had never imagined… or wanted.

Escaping from one battle and straight into another, the Doctor and his companion, Catherine, find themselves on a far flung world where time travellers are persecuted as witches and warlocks by the Papal Inquisition.

'Doctor, we're talking about an old man who used to dress up in a skintight white jump suit and fly around New York catching super-villains. Don't you think there's something just a bit unusual about that?'

A killer is stalking the streets of the village of Arandale. The victims are found one each day, drained of blood. And if that seems strange, it's nothing compared to the town's inhabitants.

The Doctor, Ace and Bernice think they're investigating a murder mystery. But it's all much more bizarre than that. And much more dangerous.

Someone has interfered with the Doctor's past again, and he's landed in a place he knows he once destroyed. This time there can be no escape.

Long ago and far away, the Doctor and Leela faced the Robots of Death…

To a society dependant on robots, the news that these benign, tireless, obedient labourers could be turned into killers would cause panic.  So it was kept a secret.  In Kaldor City, only three survivors of the Sandminer massacre know the truth.  But now, several years later, they are beginning to show signs of mental breakdown.  And once again, the robots are being programmed to kill.  Can the dead genius Taren Capel possibly be involved in this new outrage?

Worst of all, this time the deadly robots are not confined to a Sandminer.  This time they are loose in Kaldor City.  And this time, unless the Doctor and Leela can stop them, they really will destroy the world…

FIND YOUR FATE ™

The people of the Crooked World lead an idyllic existence.

Take Streaky Bacon, for example.  This jovial farmer wants nothing more than a huge blunderbuss, with which he can blast away at his crop-stealing nemesis.  And then there's Angel Falls, a racing driver with a string of victories to her name.  Sure, her trusted guardian might occasionally put on a mask and menace her for her prize money, but that's just life, right?  And for Jasper the cat, nothing could be more pleasant than a nice long nap in his kitchen - so long as that darn mouse doesn't jam his tail into the plug socket again.

But somebody is about to shatter all those lives.  Somebody is about to change everything - and it's possible that no one on the Crooked World will ever be happy again.

The Doctor's TARDIS is about to arrive.  And when it does...  That's all folks!

Somehow, the very ordinary people of the Quadrant are involved. And so, amidst the growing chaos, a bizarre trio moves into number 43.

The year is 1987: a dead drug dealer has risen from the grave, and an ancient weapon is concealed beneath human tragedy. But the Doctor soon discovers that the things people do for their children can be every bit as deadly as any alien menace - as he uncovers the link between a special child, an obsessive woman, and a desperate bargain made one dark Christmas Eve.

DOCTOR WHO

'The Brigadier's going to shoot you, Jo,' the Doctor said grimly, 'and then he's going to shoot me. Both of us are going to die.'

The Doctor builds a machine designed to predict the future. It shows the Brigadier murdering him and Jo in cold blood. Unable to tell where or when this event is destined to occur, the Doctor and Jo decide that they must stay apart.

Jo is sent on a top-secret mission to the war-torn Arab nation of Kebiria. But upon arrival, she is immediately arrested and consigned to a brutal political prison. The Kebirians have something to hide: deep in the North African desert, an alien infestation is rapidly growing. And the Doctor and UNIT soon discover that unless it is stopped, the alien presence will spread to overrun the entire world.

Darkheart: a faded neutron star surrounded by dead planets.  But there is ice on one of these icy rocks - the last enclave of the Earth Empire, frozen in the image of another time.  As the rest of the galaxy enjoys the fruits of the fledgling Federation, these isolated Imperials, bound to obey a forgotten ideal, harbour a dark obsession.

The Doctor, Jamie and Victoria arrive to find that the Federation has at last come to reintegrate this lost colony, whether they like it or not.  But all is not well in the Federation camp: relations and allegiances are changing.  The fierce Veltrochni - angered by the murder of their kinsmen - have an entirely different agenda.  And someone else is manipulating the mission for his own mysterious reasons - another time traveller, a suave and assured master of his work.

DESPERATE ALLIANCE!

The Robotech Expeditionary Force had been stranded on the far side of the galaxy as the result of damage to their Super Dimensional Fortress during the battle with the Invid hordes.  Their chances for survival were slim.

Suddenly, a starship unlike anything that had ever flown before appeared - manned by an incredible assortment of beings who meant to challenge the might of the Invid Regent himself!

THE SENTINELS

The planet Ceres Alpha is being 'developed'.  The surface crawls with gigantic city-machines that are churning and rebuilding the world, seeding it with tomorrow's vegetation so that full-scale colonisation can follow.

But Gaskill Tyran, head of the biosphere-engineers WorldCorp, is finding things more difficult than he would like.  The whole project seems to be falling apart under an ever-increasing burden of mysteries.

Why has a batch of strange babies been born with telekinetic powers?  Why wont the terraforming go according to pan?  Why are there more and more problems with the comp systems that run the city-machines?

It seems there may be conspirators.  A rival Corporation with its eye on the contract for Ceres Alpha.  And Tyran's patience is now wearing thin.

But then he gets his answer.  A mysterious infiltrator known only as the Doctor.

'All right, let's start with the basics. The world ended on the twelfth of October, Nineteen Seventy...'

I don't know why I'm writing this. It's not like anybody's going to read it. At least, nobody who cares about the fact that I'm a desperate, dying, 23-year-old human being who's just had the whole of history taken away from her.

To whoever's out there, to whatever's left, this is the way things were, just before the end. This is the story about the last days of London, about murder and love and waking up in the ruins, about all the people buried in the wreckage...

I'm lying, obviously. This is my story. This is what I was doing, when October the twelfth came. Because, let's face it, I'm the only one who really matters.

I'm the only one who got out alive.

Not knowing who the true foe is, Jason calls for help. Assistance arrives in the form of his old companion Christopher Cwej - just the man you'd want by your side in a tricky situation. but something terrible has happened to Chris, and now he can't even remember his own name.

"With one glance he will destroy your body and wither your soul."

Years later, Brigadier Lethbridge-Stewart and his colleagues at UNIT investigate a spate of unexplained deaths and murders.  Meanwhile, the Third Doctor and Jo are caught up in strange events in the small English Village of Hob’s Haven.

As preparations get underway for a massive pop concert, a sinister cult prepares for a day of reckoning - business as usual for UNIT.  But can the Brigadier help prevent the end of the world?  His friends and colleagues are not so sure, because this time, the Brigadier has fallen in love...

This special 40th Anniversary Doctor Who adventure features the Third Doctor, Jo Grant, and UNIT.  It is written by Barry Letts - Producer of the Third Doctor’s television stories - and Terrance Dicks - Script Editor for the latter part of the Second Doctor’s era and all the Third Doctor television stories.

There is no such thing as a good night.

You may think you can hide away in dreams.  Safely tucked up in bed, nothing can touch you.

But, as every child knows, there are bad dreams.  And bad dreams are where the monsters are.

The Doctor knows all about monsters.  And he knows that sometimes they can still be there when you wake up.  And when the horror is more than just a memory, there is nowhere to hide.

Even here, today, tonight... in the most ordinary of homes, and against the most ordinary people, the terror will strike.

A young boy will suffer terrifying visions...

...and his family will encounter a deathless horror.

Only the Doctor can help - but first he must uncover the fearsome secret of the Deadstone Memorial.

This is another in the series of adventures for the Eighth Doctor.

Three mightly empires poised for war!

In the far-off Magellan Cluster, the savage Dakhaari, the militaristic Czhans and the evil backstabbing Saloi are at each other's respective throats over a tiny, peaceful planet of Moriel. The Hollow Gods have decreed that a satellite be built in which they must settle their differences or else. But just who has the tact and diplomacy to arbitrate these talks?

Meanwhile, Roz and Chris are on Moriel with the Czhanist army, knocking seven bells out of the native populace. Why have they launched this sneak attack? Will it wreck the talks completely? Are they participating in the Hollow God's hidden agenda - a plan that will result in the death of billions?

And while the others are otherwise occupied, Benny is stranded, lost and alone, facing the most terrifying challenge of her life - someone who will haunt her for the rest of her days. He's called Jason.

MAROONED ON A DOOMED WORLD!

Four months passed without a word from the Sentinels, and the members of the Expeditionary Mission to Tirol were beginning to fear the worst.  This, even as they entered into truce negotiations with the being who might have been responsible for the destruction of the Sentinels' starship - the Invid Regent himself.

Meanwhile, the survivors of the Farrago remained hopelessly stranded on Praxis, a planet in cataclysm, hastened to endtime by the dark designs of the Invid Regis.  But deep within that world's transferred core were answers to the Sentinels' prayers; if they could only reach them before Praxis tore itself apart.  For Rick and Lisa Hunter, Cabell, and the others, the moment had arrived for desperate actions...

AND TIME WAS RUNNING OUT!

THE DEATH OF ART

AN ORIGINAL DOCTOR WHO NOVEL

He did not know if his powers could save him until the horses' hooves had crushed his ribs and his heart had stopped beating. After that, it was obvious.

1880s France: the corrupt world of the Third Republic. A clandestine brotherhood is engaged in a desperate internal power struggle; a race of beings seeks to free itself from perpetual oppression; and a rip in time threatens an entire city. The future of Europe is at stake, in a war fought with minds and bodies altered to the limits of human evolution.

Chris finds himself working undercover with a suspicious French gendarme; Roz follows a psychic artist whose talents are attracting the attention of mysterious forces; and the Doctor befriends a shape-shifting member of a terrifying family. And, at the heart of it all, a dark and disturbing injustice is being perpetrated. Only an end to the secret war, and the salvation of an entire race, can prevent Paris from being utterly destroyed.

DOCTOR WHO

SIMON BUCHER-JONES is yet another civil servant woth a long-standing love of SF, Fantasy and DOCTOR WHO.  He currently pretends to know about computers for the Home Office, but would rather you all bought his book.

Ten stories - Seven Doctors - One enigma

Los Angeles. The war's over, the GIs are home, Truman's in the White House and the mobsters are making a killing - as usual. Into the office of a private investigator walks a mysterious little man with a story that's out of this world. He says he's lost his memory. He wants the PI to help him. When he turns out his pockets, he produces a pile of bizarre objects, each of which restores a memory and solves a part of the puzzle.

And the memories seem to belong to seven different people.

Decalog is a new concept in Doctor Who fiction: A cycle of ten linked stories. The stories are written by authors who are well known to readers of the New Adventures or Doctor Who magazines - Paul Cornell, Marc Platt, Vanessa Bishop, Jim Mortimore, Andy Lane - and have been brought together by Mark Stammers and Stephen James Walker, who are part of the team that researches and writes in-depth factual books about Doctor Who such as The Sixties and the Handbook series.

Ten Stories - Seven Doctors - No Fixed Abode

Imaginatively entitled DECALOG 2, this is the second collection of Doctor Who short fiction.  And this time the theme is the Doctor's home - inasmuch as a peripatetic Time Lord can be said to have a home.

As before, the editors have gathered a galaxy of star writers to illuminate the theme.  Many of the contributors will be well known to the readers of the New Adventures and the Missing Adventures series of novels: Daniel Blythe, Paul Cornell, Andy Lane, David McIntee and Gareth Roberts are prolific Doctor Who authors.  And as before this volume also includes contributions from new writers.

In these stories, among many other unexpected occurrences, the Doctor meets a pretender to the English throne, Nyssa meets a ghost, Zoe gets lost in time, Brigadier Lethbridge-Stewart is dismissed from UNIT, and K-9 is in electrifying form.  And the Kandyman is on Tara in a verse play in iambic pentameters.

Ten Stories - Seven Doctors - One Chain of Events

'The consequences of having the Doctor crashing around our universe can be colossal... The Doctor is a time traveller.  Never forget that, because it is central to an understanding of what makes him so terribly dangerous.  Most of us, in our tiny, individual ways are involved in the writing of history.  Only the Doctor is out there rewriting it.'

But even the Doctor may not see the threads that bind the universe together.  Perhaps, instead, he cuts right through them.  Who knows what events he sets in motion without even realizing?  Who knows what consequences may come back - or forward - to haunt him?

Ten completely new tales from the universe of Doctor Who.  Seven Doctors' lives, inexorably linked in a breathtaking chain of consequences.

As always, the editors have assembled a dazzling array of writing talent, from award winning TV script writers to acclaimed New Adventures authors.  And, as before, there are the usual contributions from talented new writers.

'Take Arcadia apart if you have to.'

The middle of the twenty-fifth century. The Dalek war is drawing to an untidy close. Earth's Office of External Operation is trying to extend its influence over the corporations that have controlled human-occupied space since man first ventured to the stars.

Agent Isabelle Defries is leading one expedition. Among her barely-controllable squad is an explosives expert who calls herself Ace. Their destination: Arcadia.

A non-technological paradise? A living laboratory for a centuries-long experiment? Fuel for a super-being? Even when Ace and Benny discover the truth, the Doctor refuses to listen to them.

Nothing is what it seems to be.

When a lighthouse keeper reports seeing a ball of light plunging into the sea off Tayborough Sands, UNIT sends Mike Yates to investigate.  The last thing he expects to find there is an old friend - with a new face...

The Doctor and his companions arrive on a pleasure beach in the 1970's, hoping for time off after their recent adventures.  But they do not get to relax for long.  Violent incidents are at an all time high in the area and people are going missing - or else changing into something more than human...

The Doctor soon realises a sinister presence lurks in the cold seas off Tayborough Sands - a presence with sinister designs on humanity.

The Vega Station - a haven for gamblers, art lovers and duty-free shoppers, the one place where the Battrulians and their erstwhile enemies, the Canvine, meet and mix, in neutral space.  A pressure point, an explosive mixture.  And just as the new president of Battrul is about to arrive, the TARDIS crew turn up.

Fitz is in trouble.  He's accidentally got himself hired as an assassin while trying to emulate James Bond.  And he's upset Bigdog Caruso, the unofficial Canvine leader on Vega.

Sam is in trouble.  She's become involved with the key witness to a murder, and the witness has vanished.

The Doctor, meanwhile, has been roped into help with investigations into robbery, sabotage and the murder, as well as to sort out Fitz's problems, Sam's problems, and the President's safety.  He's in his element.

And if they should get bored, there's a hitman on the loose, monsters roaming the station corridors, and exhibition of art by a painter who depicted his own death, and the opera.

The Novrosk Peninsula: the Soviet naval base has been abandoned, the nuclear submarines are rusting and rotting. Cold, isolated, forgotten. Until the Russian Special Forces arrive and discover that the Doctor and his companions are here too. But there is something else in Novrosk. Something that predates everything else, even the stone circle on the cliff top. Something that is at last waking, hunting, killing. Can the Doctor and his friends stay alive long enough to learn the truth? With time running out, they must discover who is really responsible for the Deviant Strain.

Featuring the Doctor as played by Christopher Eccleston, together with Rose and Captain Jack as played by Billie Piper and John Barrowman in the hit series from BBC Television

A DEVICE OF DEATH
AN ORIGINAL NOVEL FEATURING THE FOURTH DOCTOR,
SARAH JANE SMITH AND HARRY SULLIVAN

'AS A MEMBER OF AN INFERIOR RACE, YOU EITHER WORK TO SERVE THE CAUSE OF AVERON, OR DIE.'

Sarah is marooned on a slave world where the only escape is death. Harry is caught in the middle of an interplanetary invasion, and has to combine medicine with a desperate mission. And the Doctor lands on a world so secret it does not even have a name.

Why have the TARDIS crew been scattered across the stars? What terrible accident could have wiped the Doctor's memory? And what could interest the Time Lords in this war-torn sector of space?

At the heart of a star-spanning conspiracy lies an ancient quest: people have been making weapons since the dawn of time - but perhaps someone has finally discovered the ultimate device of death.

This adventure takes place between the television stories GENESIS OF THE DALEKS and REVENGE OF THE CYBERMEN

CHRISTPHER BULIS has written five previous DOCTOR WHO books, including the highly acclaimed THE SORCERER'S APPRENTICE.

Cover design: Slatter~Andersin
Cover painting: Alister Pearson

From the outer reaches of the Solar System, alien eyes are surveying the Earth. Eyes as cold and cruel as the methane ice that shrouds their distant world…

The Doctor is perturbed when a spate of deaths follow the break-up of an alien mass in the atmosphere. But this is merely the latest incident in a sinister conspiracy that threatens the entire planet, and the Doctor himself is embroiled in the plans of all the players.

The Brigadier's concern is heightened by the possibility of traitors at the very heart of UNIT. Leaving for Geneva to discover the truth, he little realises the deadly motives of an enemy agent on his own doorstep. The Doctor and Liz, meanwhile, discover that London doesn't have a monopoly on alien invasions.

What are the gargoyle-like creatures that kill without mercy? What do they want from our planet - and how do they figure in top-secret governmental plans?

As the lines between allies and enemies begin to blur, the Doctor finds himself fighting to save the Earth once again. But who will he be saving it for?

Featuring the third Doctor, Liz Shaw and UNIT, this adventure takes place between the TV stories INFERNO and TERROR OF THE AUTONS.

SHIPS THAT PASS IN THE NIGHT...

It was 2020.  Six years had passed since the destruction of the Super Dimentional Fortresses 1 and 2, that final tragedy of the First Robotech War.  But Earth was on the mend now, and from the wreakage of those ships the Robotech Defense Force had succeeded in fashioning a new battle fortress - the SDF-3.  Its mission: to cross the galaxy and make peace with Tirol's Robotech Masters.

It sounded straightforward enough; but unknown to Admirala Rick and Lisa Hunter and their crew of thousands, the Robotech Masters were already on their way to Earth!

Nevertheless Tirol would have a greeting in store for the Expeditionary Mission: an incendiary salute from the warlord whose hordes had conquered half the galactic Quadrant - the Invid Regent!  Threatened with a swift and violent end, and suddenly torn by internal struggles for power, the RDF would find itself thrust into...

A SAVAGE WAR FOR SURVIVAL!

'Someone here has been playing with time, Ace. Like playing with fire, only worse - you get burnt before you've lit the match.'

Abandoning a holiday in Oxford, the Doctor travels to Space Station Q4, where something is seriously wrong. Ghostly soldiers from the future watch from the shadows among the dead. Soon, the Doctor is trapped in the past, Ace is fighting for her life, and Bernice is uncovering deceit among the college cloisters.

What is the connection with a beautiful assassin in a black sports car? How can the Doctor's time machine be in Oxford when it is on board the space station? And what secrets are held by the library of the invaded TARDIS?

The Doctor quickly discovers he is facing another time-shattering enigma: a creature which he thought he had destroyed, and which it seems he is powerless to stop.

'Resistance is futile!'

Fluffs, goofs, double entendres, fashion victims, technobabble, dialogue disasters: these are just some of the headings under which every story in the Doctor's twenty-seven-year career is analysed.

Despite its humorous tone The Discontinuity Guide has a serious purpose.  Apart from drawing attention to the errors and absurdities that are amoung the most lovable features of Doctor Who, this reference book provides a complete analysis of the story-by-story creation of the Doctor Who universe.

One sample story, Pyramids of Mars, yields the following gems:

Technobabble: a cytronic particle accelerator, a relative continuum stabiliser, and triobiphysics.

Dialogue Triumphs: 'I'm a Time Lord…  You don't understand the implications.  I'm not a human being.  I walk in eternity.'

Continuity: the Doctor is about 750 years old at this point, and has apparently aged 300 years since Tomb of the Cybermen.  He ages about another 300 years between this story and the seventh Doctor's Time and the Rani.

An absolute must for every Doctor Who fan.  Wear your anorak with pride, and keep The Discontinuity Guide in its pocket!

There are some evils in the universe that need to be fought.  And others that need redeeming…
