Publisher's summary
Following the threads of a conspiracy twisting throughout all of time and space, the Doctor and his companions head to the Vanishing Point - a mythical place, said to exist somewhere between science and magic. But it is a journey from which they may never return.
Plot
Part one
The time tracks enter gridlock and Raven loses power on Station X45/0. The Doctor, Jamie and Zoe experience pain when they look at the scratch in reality where a Kipper was, but the Doctor is more resistant at touches it, making it disappear. The Kipper, he reasons, was powerless as it was stuck between two timelines by his refusal to do as Raven ordered. The two timelines fade away and the trio leave in the TARDIS, but the controls stop working after the Doctor boosts the ship's power to escape something's pull.
Avoiding the Kippers, Raven hears laughter and enters the station's secure unit where Celestin is attached to apparatus the purpose of which she does not know. She finds a Time Ring in Celestin's case, which she surmises he was given by the High Council, and offers to take him with her to escape. However, Celestin says that he must stay and she leaves without him.
The Doctor heads to the TARDIS library in frustration when he fails to bypass the TARDIS's controls and Jamie and Zoe follow him. Once they find the stolen book he was looking for, they head back to the control room where they see Raven in the Time Vortex trying to break in through the doors to escape the Kippers. The Doctor lets her in and jumpstarts the TARDIS with her Time Ring whilst Jamie and Zoe look through the book and read about the Vanishing Point; as Zoe reads it, tentacles grow out of it.
