Publisher's summary

Coming up after the break, the start of a new series of programmes featuring the mysterious traveller in Time and Space known only as -- The Doctor.

Detecting a mysterious sub-space signal in the Time Vortex, the Doctor and Ace land on the planet Blinni-Gaar. They soon discover that the native population are little more than zombies, addicted to the programmes of the dangerously powerful Channel 400. As the Doctor investigates, he finds that the television company has a sinister agenda that has nothing to do with entertainment.

Why is the Director-General of Channel 400 so interested in the Doctor? Who are the mysterious aliens who watch from the shadows of the Brago nebula? And why is a pack of Zzinbriizi jackals stalking the streets of Blinni-Gaar?

As the Doctor is drawn deeper and deeper into a web of intrigue and deceit he discovers that he has an unexpected ally -- of the most dangerous kind.

Notes

  • Years later in the episode DW: Bad Wolf (of the new series) bears very similarities to this novel: mainly the fact the public are obsessed with reality and quiz shows on television.

Continuity

  • The Master is still infected with the cheetah virus that he contracted during the events of DW: Survival, this contradicts NA: First Frontier where the Master immediately gains a new body after leaving the Cheetah World.

Timeline

Events of this novel lead into events in Heritage.
