Cover blurb:
"I’ve had many faces. Many lives. I don’t admit to all of them. There’s one life I’ve tried very hard to forget — the Doctor who fought in the Time War."

Inside cover flaps read as follows:

The Great Time War has raged for centuries, ravaging the universe. Scores of human colony planets are now overrun by Dalek occupation forces. A weary, angry Doctor leads a flotilla of Battle TARDISes against the Dalek stronghold but in the midst of the carnage, the Doctor’s TARDIS crashes to a planet below: Moldox.

As the Doctor is trapped in an apocalyptic landscape, Dalek patrols roam amongst the wreckage, rounding up the remaining civilians. But why haven’t the Daleks simply killed the humans?

Searching for answers the Doctor meets ‘Cinder’, a young Dalek hunter. Their struggles to discover the Dalek plan take them from the ruins of Moldox to the halls of Gallifrey, and set in motion a chain of events that will change everything. And everyone.

An epic novel of the Great Time War featuring the War Doctor as played by John Hurt.

Cover blurb:
Der Zeitkrieg wütet bereits seit Jahrhunderten und hat das Universum verwüstet. Zahlreiche von Menschen bewohnte Kolonieplaneten sind von Dalek-Besatzungsmächten überrannt worden. Ein abgekämpfter, zorniger Doktor führt eine kleine Tardis-Flotte gegen das Dalek-Bollwerk an. Doch mitten im Gemetzel stürzt die TARDIS des Doktors auf einen Planeten, der den Namen Moldox trägt.

Während der Doktor erkennen muss, dass er in einer apokalyptischen Landschaft gelandet ist, durchkämmen die Dalek-Patrouillen die Trümmer, um die noch verbliebenen Zivilisten zusammenzutreiben. Auf der Suche nach Antworten trifft der Doctor Cinder, eine junge Dalekjägerin. Ihre Anstrengungen, um hinter den Plan der Dalek zu kommen, führen sie von den Ruinen von Moldox weg, hin zu den Hallen von Gallifrey. Ohne es zu ahnen, setzen sie dabei eine Kette von Ereignissen in Gang, die alles verändern wird. Und jeden.

Cover blurb:
«He tenido muchos rostros. Muchas vidas. No las reconozco todas. Hay una vida que he intentado olvidar con todas mis fuerzas: el Doctor que luchó en la Guerra del Tiempo».

La Gran Guerra del Tiempo ha arrasado el universo durante siglos. Infinidad de planetas colonizados por humanos están ahora bajo el control de las fuerzas de ocupación dalek. El Doctor, cansado y enfadado, lidera una flota de TARDIS de combate contra los daleks. Pero, en medio de la carnicería, la TARDIS del Doctor se estrella en un planeta: Moldox.

Con el Doctor atrapado en un paisaje apocalíptico, las patrullas dalek recorren los escombros, reuniendo a los civiles supervivientes. Pero ¿por qué no matan los dalek a los humanos sin mås?

Buscando respuestas, el Doctor conoce a Ascua, una joven cazadora de daleks. Su lucha para descubrir el plan de los daleks los lleva de las ruinas de Moldox a los salones de Gallifrey y ponen en marcha una cadena de eventos que lo cambiará todo. Y a todos.

Una novela épica sobre la Guerra del Tiempo de la mano del Doctor Guerrero, tal y como lo interpretaba John Hurt.
