Publisher's summary

His clients have conquered millions of worlds. His weapons have ended billions of lives. But his private resort has the sort of security system that only trillions of credits can buy. Not even the Time Agency can bring the Quartermaster to justice.

Which is why Keira’s enlisted a new recruit. The Doctor has faced many villains, but this time, he’ll have to become one...

Worldbuilding

• The Quartermaster's headquarters used to be in the Daybreak Nebula.
• The Doctor calls Carmella Calliprax a "nepo baby".
• The Doctor is issued his own vortex manipulator, but he destroys it.
• The Doctor wonders about Project: Anchor.
