Mr Saldaamir was a Faction Paradox short story by Lance Parkin released as an ebook by BBV Productions in June 2021. It was originally written as an entry for The Book of the War.

Summary

The invention of time travel ended the great Golden Age and plunged the elder races into the Time Wars. Mister Saldaamir, last of his kind, rooted himself to the new history and is devoted to protecting the existence of a timeline. He lives in San Francisco and worries about Last Contact.

Characters

• Mister Saldaamir
• Witch

References

• Mister Saldaamir's companions were destroyed in the Time Wars.

Notes

• After its exclusion from The Book of the War, Mr Saldaamir was published in the fanzine Myth Makers 13 before its release by BBV Productions.
• The explanation of the Time Wars in Mr Saldaamir notably contradicts the account of the pre-universe and the anchoring of the thread in The Book of the War and elsewhere in the Faction Paradox series. However, it contributes to the relevance of Last Contact to the War in Heaven, which Lance Parkin further developed in his War-adjacent Doctor Who novels The Infinity Doctors, Father Time, and The Gallifrey Chronicles.

Continuity
