Note: Original Doctor Who novel featuring the Seventh Doctor and Ace. An abridged (Doctor-less) audio adaptation of this novel was released as part of the Bernice Summerfield audio range in 1999. Reading or listening to audio books at home requires a quiet room and a little privacy. Portable room dividers can section off a space in your home which can be perfect for reading and quiet time.
Cover blurb: ‘Tomorrow belongs to us, not you. If you were really from the future, Miss Summerfield, you would be a Nazi.’ March 1941: Britain’s darkest hour. The Nazis occupy British soil and British citizens are being deported to European concentration camps. Six thousand people a month are dying in air raids on London. The United States show no sign of entering the war. According to the Doctor, this isn’t a parallel universe, it isn’t an alternate timeline; and everything is running according to schedule. But now something, somewhere, has gone wrong. The Nazis are building a secret weapon, one that will have a decisive effect on the outcome of the War. Chris thinks it’s a UFO, while Roz believes that the Luftwaffe have developed the largest bomber ever built. Only Benny may have seen the mysterious craft — but she’s disappeared off the face of the Earth. Lance Parkin wrote this, his first novel, while he was studying for his MA in Post-War English Fiction. He has written for a number of fanzines, notably Matrix, Odyssey, Silver Carrier and In-Vision. He is currently working on a Doctor Who history of the universe for publication in 1996. |
