Publisher’s Summary

‘I think time and space just fell apart.’

Anji isn’t sure, but then it’s hard to be sure of anything now. Good Times Inc. promised a new tourist experience, with hotels in every major period of human history -- but that kind of arrogance comes with a price, and it’s a price the Doctor doesn’t want to pay.

As aliens conquer an alternative Earth, Anji and Fitz race to find out how to stop Good Times without stopping time itself. But they find that events are out of control -- they can’t even save each other. And when the Doctor tries to help, it gets far worse. At the Last Resort, only Sabbath can save the day. And then the price gets even higher...

Characters

References

  • Anji sees a Dalek in one of the alternate / temporal realities (not that she recognises it as such).
  • The Time Police follow up and stop errant time travellers.

Notes

  • Much of this novel’s story structure shares similarities with 'Groundhog Day'.
  • All the main characters / their alternate counterparts (The Doctor, Fitz, Anji and Sabbath) all die several times in alternative time lines.

Continuity

  • First appearance of Trix since Time Zero. We learn that she stowed away on the TARDIS but only revealed this to Iyeeye.
