Borrowed Time was the twelfth Eleventh Doctor novel to be released.
Publisher's summary
"You want more time Mr Brown, of course you do. We all want more time. Let me make you an offer..."
Andrew Brown never has enough time. No time to call his sister, or to prepare for that important presentation at the bank where he works. The train’s late, the lift jams. If only he’d had just a little more time. And time is the business of Mr Symington and Mr Blenkinsop. They’ll lend him some – at a very reasonable rate of interest.
Detecting a problem, the Doctor, Amy and Rory go undercover at the bank. But they have to move fast to stop Symington and Blenkinsop before they cash in their investments.
Characters
References
- Earth is referred to as "the most frequently attacked, colonised, exploited and enslaved planet in the five galaxies".
- In the aftermath of Symington and Blenkinsop's defeat, the cleanup at the bank is taken care of by UNIT and Torchwood.
Notes
- The Millenium Dome is being used as a secret self-storage depot for intergalactic travellers called "LittleGreenStorage", under the auspices of a small alien called the Yomalet-Ram.
- The Doctor gives twenty years of his own lifetime to settle the debt Amy incurred on her Time Harvester.
Continuity
- The Doctor mentions the Mandragora Helix, suggesting that a temporal flux caused by it was responsible for the death of renaissance nobleman Piero de Medici. (DW: The Masque of Mandragora)
