Truant was the third story in The New Adventures of Bernice Summerfield box set Ruler of the Universe.
Publisher's summary
The President of the Universe has run away. Bernice has to hunt him down, but he's too busy having fun. Evil warlords! Impossible escapes! Sinister plans! The Doctor's on an adventure.
Plot
Having promised to find the Doctor, Benny follows his trail as he relives his glory days by saving Glorbo Minor from Maximillian, interrupting a swordfight between Sordo and King Slaygar and stopping the Holy Diode from taking over Dukas. He is disappointed that nobody puts up a fight due to his representation and is delighted when Benny catches up with him on Kellor and they are gassed with oxybromide.
Benny and the Doctor wake up in a cell and are condemned to death. The Doctor uses his sonic screwdriver on the captors' earpieces to make them collapse and finds a coin from the Bank of Silva, indicating that they are Silvans from the planet Silva. Whilst Benny looks into the Silvans, the Doctor goes to warn the authorities of the imminent invasion and meets Governor Lakis, who immediately confesses to being responsible for their capture.
Benny finds no record of the Silvans or their currency and finds that their biosignature is that of the people of Kellor, meaning that the invasion happened generations ago. She is chased by Agent Clovis and sends the coordinates of the last remaining native of Kellor to the Doctor. She gets there first and meets Morlick, but she does not let her or the Doctor in and is unaware of the invasion sixty years ago. When Lakis and the Silvans arrive, the Doctor demands that they cede control of the planet in order to be permitted into the safe zone of the Apocalypse Clock.
Lakis agrees to hand over the presidency to Morlick, but she has no interest in it and the frustrated Doctor leaves. Benny tells the Silvans that they will be safe and should do all they can to save other races. They return to Parliament where the Mother Superior informs the Doctor that articles of impeachment have been brought forth; the court is ready and the Doctor might no longer be Ruler of the Universe.
