Cover blurb: After billions of years of imprisonment, the vicious Sild have broken out of confinement. From a ruined world at the end of time, they make preparations to conquer the past, with the ultimate goal of rewriting history. But to achieve their aims they will need to enslave an intellect greater than their own... On Earth, UNIT is called in to investigate a mysterious incident on a North Sea drilling platform. The Doctor believes something is afoot, and no sooner has the investigation begun when something even stranger takes hold: The Brigadier is starting to forget about UNIT’s highest-profile prisoner. And he is not alone in his amnesia. As the Sild invasion begins, The Doctor faces a terrible dilemma. To save the universe, he must save his arch-nemesis... The Master.

Clarke Awards), Chasm City (winner of the BSFA Award), House of Suns (short-listed for the Arthur C. Clarke Award), Terminal World and Blue Remembered Earth. He lives in Wales. |
