Consequences is the third installment in the Decalog series - a series of books which each contain ten tales wrapping around a common theme.

Publisher's Summary

'The consequences of having the Doctor crashing around our universe can be colossal...The Doctor is a time traveller. Never forget that, because it is central to an understanding of what makes him so terribly dangerous. Most of us, in our tiny, individual ways are involved in the writing of our history. Only the Doctor is out there rewriting it.'

But even the Doctor may not see the threads that bind the universe together. Perhaps, instead, he cuts right through them. Who knows what events he sets in motion without even realising? Who knows what consequences may come back - or forward - to haunt him?

Ten completely new tales from the universe of Doctor Who. Seven Doctors' lives, inexorably linked in a breathtaking chain of consequences.

  • Consequences varied slightly from the initial two decalog books in that the stories contained within not only share a common theme, but are also a continuation of the same sequence of events, set unwittingly into motion by the Doctor himself. These events twist and turn throughout time and incarnations - so that while actions taken by the Second Doctor may directly influence the Fifth, so do actions taken by the Seventh influence the Fourth, and so on. Each story directly references each other story in the collection.
  • Sarah Jane still has K9, gifted to her by the Doctor. (K9 and company)
