Publisher's summary
'This isn't Hell,' the Doctor assured her. 'It's only a sequel.'
Stand by for an exciting new adventure with Dr Who and his companion, Jason. Once again, our time-hopping friends set out to seek injustice, raise rebel armies, overthrow dictators and beat up green monsters.
But this time, Dr Who faces a deadly new threat: a genocidal rogue Time Lord and his army of combat-hardened, gun-slinging warrior women. To make matters worse, this foe is a twisted version of the good Doctor himself - and if Dr Who and Jason can't stop him, he'll end all life on Detrios and Earth.
Armed only with their wits and with the modest power of control over reality, our heroes must face Dr Who's evil double: the megalomaniac scientist who calls himself simply... 'The Doctor'.
Characters

- The Doctor rarely sleeps, fearing his dreams.
- Bernice Summerfield
- Before Benny met the Doctor she had only been knocked unconscious once.
- Enjoys verbally torturing Mel.
- Benny laughs until her sides ache when she finds out that the Sixth Doctor regenerated because he hit his head on the console.
- Roz Forrester
- Judges a captured Mel not worth rescuing.
- Chris Cwej
- Chris wonders whether he and rebel Kat'lanna might end up sleeping together.
- Melanie Bush
- Left Sabalom Glitz after 6 months and tried to hitch hike to Earth, 6 months after that she was stuck on the planet Avalone.
- The Doctor knew she was there and thought she'd settled down on the planet.
- Ace

References
- Detrios, the Miracle, ACME Lizard Monster Eradicator are all creations from the Land of Fiction / Jason (Master of the Land of Fiction).
- UNIT / Brigadier Winifred Bambera investigate one of the Land of Fiction incidences on Earth.
- Blinovitch's first name was Aaron.
- Benny kicks a soft drink can in London, 2001 which through a seemingly unrelated set of events leads to a slightly less eloquent speech writer witing a speech on the eve of the Draconian War, leading to many more deaths on both sides.
- The Doctor gives Benny a UNIT pass that used to belong to Jeremy Fitzoliver.
Notes
The cover of this novel was used often in many articles about The New Adventures as it showed a recognisable Doctor (in the question mark jumper), companion Mel screaming, and the Doctor holding a gun, supposedly all indicators of a New Adventures novel.
Continuity
- Mel was last seen (chronologically) in DW: Dragonfire. Head Games continues her story after Dragonfire, and explains what lead her to leave.
- This novel is a sequel to NA: Conundrum, which in turn was a sequel to DW: The Mind Robber.
- Kadiatu Lethbridge-Stewart is mentioned near the end of this novel leading into NA: The Also People.
- Blinovitch was given some further history in NA: Timewyrm: Revelation.
- In this novel it is revealed that Brigadier Winifred Bambera had twins by Ancelyn an Arthurian knight whom she met during the events of DW: Battlefield.
Timeline
- This story takes place after NA: Toy Soldiers
- This story takes place before NA: The Also People
