Publisher's summary
When Susan’s TARDIS is intercepted, she is given a highly classified mission.
Earth, 1963 is a nexus point in the Time War, but the timelines must be negotiated carefully. Mods and rockers are not the only dangers on the streets of Shoreditch.
In Susan’s past, the Daleks are waiting. But so is the Doctor!
