Publishers Cover Blurb

A twentieth anniversary special featuring the Doctor in all five of his regenerations. Why are all five Doctors being removed from their separate time-streams? Who is the enemy they will have to unite against? What will become of the Doctors when the battle is over? We have travelled a long way with Doctor Who. The Five Doctors gives us a chance to turn the clock back and meet some old friends – and some old enemies.
