Publisher’s Summary

England in the late 22nd century is slowly recovering from the devastation that followed the Daleks’ invasion. The Doctor’s very first travelling companion -- his granddaughter, Susan -- is where he left her, helping to rebuild Earth for the survivors. But danger still remains all around...

While searching for his lost companion, Sam, the Doctor finds himself in Domain London. But it seems that Susan is now missing too, and his efforts to find her lead to confrontation with the ambitious Lord Haldoran, who is poised to take control of southern England through all-out war. With the help of a sinister advisor, Haldoran’s plans are already well advanced. Power cables have been fed down a mineshaft, reactivating a mysterious old device of hideous power. But has the Dalek presence on Earth really been wiped out? Or are there still traps set for the unwary?

The Doctor learns to his cost once again that when dealing with the evil of the Daleks, nothing can be taken at face value...

References

  • The Daleks from the Dalek Artefact begin creating robomen.
  • The Master uses his Tissue Compression Eliminator on various people and a Dalek.
  • David and Susan name their adoptive children Ian, Barbara and David junior (most likely after Ian Chesterton and Barbara Wright).
  • The Doctor considers altering the past (and goes back in time before Susan sent her message) to help her (this would be a temporal paradox had he succeeded).

Notes

  • The 'version' of the Master featured in this story is as Roger Delgado portrayed him.

Continuity

  • This novel is set 30 years after DW: The Dalek Invasion of Earth.

  • This is set directly after EDA: Longest Day for the Doctor as he searches for Sam Jones.
  • Susan left her key in the ruins of London, the Doctor retrieved it in NA: GodEngine.
  • The Doctor recalls seeing Susan as part of 'Rassilon's Game', in DW: The Five Doctors.
  • The factory within the Dalek Artefact bares a strong resemblance to the Dalek factory in DW: The Power of the Daleks.
  • There's a passing reference to DW: Doctor Who (1996) with regard to the Doctor and hospitals (and people trying to kill him in them).
  • The Doctor receives Susan's message 'before' the event occurs and arrives 'before' it occurs, a similar event occurs in DW: The Doctor's Daughter.
  • Before David's death at the hands of the Master, he and Susan are unable to have children and so all their children are adopted.
later contradicted on several points by BFA: An Earthly Child
