== Publisher's summary ==
==Publisher's summary==
The [[Seventh Doctor|Seventh Doctor]] and [[Ace]] are on the trail of a monster that not only knows their every move but appears to be able to anticipate their actions too. The head of the far right [[New Britannia]] party survives an assassination attempt, but the Doctor suspects there is far more to the affair than the failed slaying of a politician. As he and Ace fight their way through the prejudices which blind everyone touched by a [[Fearmonger|very particular monster]], they face the prospect of the entire world being plunged into a bitter war of mistrust and mutual loathing...
One would-be assassin is in a mental ward. Another's on the run. Their intended victim is stirring up the mobs. Terrorists are planning a strike of their own. A talk-show host is loving every minute of it. A Whitehall insider whispers about a mysterious UN operative, with a hidden agenda. Everyone's got someone they want you to be afraid of. It'll only take a little push for the situation to erupt -- and something is doing the pushing. But you can trust the Doctor to put things right. Can't you?
