Synopsis
The Doctor wishes to return a communications device he had borrowed from the Mendeb system years ago. Being a time lord, he reasons he can put it back before anybody notices anything is wrong. However, when he arrives he comes to believe he is far too late to fix things; an invasion seems to have resulted because of his actions.
Continuity
- The book also features a brief appearance by the Second Doctor and Jamie McCrimmon, however they do not interact in person with the Seventh Doctor or Ace.
- Ace almost leaves the Doctor towards the end of this novel. She would eventually leave the Doctor first in the novel Love and War, and again later in Set Piece.
Outside References
- The book references the movie Withnail and I. Many years after the movie was made, but prior to the release of this novel, its stars Paul McGann and Richard E. Grant would eventually become the Eighth Doctor and the voice of the Shalka Doctor, respectively.
