Publisher's Summary

For a year, while the Master ruled over Earth, Martha Jones travelled the world telling people stories about the Doctor. She told people of how the Doctor has saved them before, and how he will save them again.

This is that story. It tells of Martha's travels from her arrival on Earth as the Toclafane attacked and decimated the population through to her return to Britain to face the Master. It tells how she spread the word and told people about the Doctor. The story of how she survived that terrible year.

But it's more than that. This is also a collection of the stories she tells - the stories of adventures she had with the Doctor that we haven't heard about before. The stories that inspired and saved the world . . .

Notes

  • This is the first multiple-author release in the current BBC Books line. The short story format makes it the first release of its kind by BBC Books since it passed its Short Trips series on to Big Finish.
  • Characters that are rumoured to appear are Leo Jones and some other characters around the Doctor Who Universe.
  • Discounting created-for-novels companions Bernice Summerfield and Roz Forrester (subjects of a novel series and an entry in the Decalog series, respectively), this is the first licensed book-length release to focus on a single TV companion since Harry Sullivan's War more than two decades earlier.
  • This is also the first time the current BBC Books line has published a novel based upon a televised episode, although it is not a novelisation.
