Publisher's summary
October, 1930. His Majesty's Airship, the R101, sets off on her maiden voyage to the farthest-flung reaches of the British Empire, carrying the hopes and dreams of a breathless nation.
Not to mention a ruthless spy with a top-secret mission, a mysterious passenger who appears nowhere on the crew list, a would-be adventuress destined for the Singapore Hilton... and a Time Lord from the planet Gallifrey...
Trapped aboard a mysterious, derelict star destroyer, the Doctor and Charley find themselves facing summary execution. But this is only the beginning of their troubles. The real danger has yet to awaken.
Until, somewhere in the dark recesses of the Garazone System, the Cybermen receive the signal for reactivation...
The Doctor and Charley decide to take a holiday, and end up in Venice, well into Charley's future, as the great city prepares to sink beneath the water for the last time...
However, the machinations of a love-sick artistocrat, a proud art historian, the amphibious underclass and a rabid High Priest of a really quite dodgy cult combine to make Venice's swansong a night to remember.
Manhattan, Hallowe'en 1938. On the eve of Orson Welles' infamous radio broadcast of the War of the Worlds, The Doctor is embroiled in the hunt for a missing Russian scientist whilst Charley finds herself at the mercy of a very dubious Fifth Columnist.
With some genuinely out of this world 'merchandise' at stake, the TARDIS crew are forced into an alliance with a sultry dame called Glory.
