Cover blurb: April, 1914. The inhabitants of the little Norfolk town of Farringham are enjoying an early summer, unaware that war is on the way. Amongst them is Dr John Smith, a short, middle-aged history teacher from Aberdeen. He’s having a hard time with his new post as house master at Hulton Academy for Boys, a school dedicated to producing military officers. Bernice Summerfield is enjoying her holiday in the town, getting over the terrible events that befell her in France. But then she meets a future Doctor, and things start to get dangerous very quickly. With the Doctor she knows gone, and only a suffragette and an elderly rake for company, can Benny fight off a vicious alien attack? And will Dr Smith be able to save the day? Paul Cornell has written three previous books in the New Adventures series; this is the final book in the cycle of stories which began with Timewyrm: Revelation. He also wrote the first of the Missing Adventures, Goth Opera. He created the character of Bernice Summerfield and writes lots of things. He lives in Aylesbury. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
