Prelude No Future was, as the name suggested, a prelude to No Future by Paul Cornell. It did not appear in the published novel.
Summary
General Norton takes Captain Alex Pike to Hangar 13, where UNIT keeps alien technology and bodies they find. However, the base is under control of the Vardans, who attack. Norton is killed, but Pike escapes.
Characters
- General Norton
- Captain Alex Pike
- Frankenheimer
Worldbuilding
- Pike mentions Brigadier Lethbridge-Stewart.
- The President of the United States pledged in an election to make all information about UFOs public, only to change his mind after learning the truth. Jimmy Carter did indeed promise this only to drop the issue (but see Errors).
Notes
to be added
Errors
No Future is set in the summer of 1976, before Carter is in office.
Continuity
- The President changed his mind on UFO disclosure after one look at the Axos file. (TV: The Claws of Axos)
