Publisher's summary

US Edition

YOU and the Doctor must join forces to find and destroy the most awesome device ever created in a RACE AGAINST TIME.

Doctor Who is the world's greatest Time Lord, but an awful calamity has befallen him. Along with YOU and his companion Peri, the Doctor is caught in Time Limbo — the worst possible place for a Time Lord to be!

Your goal is to help the Doctor reach and defuse the Time Destabilizer, an invention that threatens not just the Solar System, not just the Galaxy, but the entire Universe! If you fail, you will be suspended for all eternity in a vacuum with no light, no dark, no beginning, no end.

This is the biggest challenge you've ever faced. The decisions you make will shape the destiny of all life in the galaxy, so do your best to FIND YOUR FATE.
