Serving as a sequel to Auld Mortality, the first story in the Unbound range, it features Geoffrey Bayldon returning in his role as an alternate First Doctor, with Carole Ann Ford reprising her role as Susan. Notably, this story is double the length of its predecessor, spanning four parts across two CDs, compared to the single-part story of Auld Mortality.
Publisher's summary[[edit] | [edit source]]
What if... the Doctor really had changed History, even just the tiniest bit?
1480: Leonardo da Vinci visits the stars.
1508: Vasco da Gama sets foot on Mars.
1585: Francis Drake begins charting the Asteroid belt.
1588: Earth is destroyed by a storm of angels.
The Doctor was really enjoying his freedom. But now there's a Temporal Agent on his tail. Gloriana and the President of Gallifrey are not amused. And Susan's none too well either.
Possibilities, like the Doctor, have a habit of running away with themselves. But who cares, when the jewels are so dazzling...
