Description

The second novel in a brand-new series of novels set just after the Doctor Who serial The Web of Fear, featuring the characters and concepts created by Mervyn Haisman & Henry Lincoln.

Lethbridge-Stewart was supposed to be in the mountains of the east. Things didn’t quite go according to plan.
 
On the eve of war, something appeared in the sky; a presence that blotted out the moon. Now it has returned, and no battle plan can survive the first contact with this enemy.
 
Plagued by nightmares of being trapped in a past that never happened, Lethbridge-Stewart must unravel the mystery of a man ten years out of his time; a man who cannot possibly still exist.
 
Why do the ghosts of fallen soldiers still fight long-forgotten battles against living men? What is the secret of the rural English town of Deepdene? Lethbridge-Stewart has good reason to doubt his own sanity, but is he suffering illness or injury, or is something more sinister going on?

REVIEWS

“McIntee turns in a fine Who based thriller that both harkens back to the era in which it’s set while also exploring ideas and concepts more modern […] a fast paced tale and one that makes for a wonderful addition to this new series.” – Matthew Kresal, Warped Factor
