Synopsis
Mike Yates has left UNIT and tries to acclimatise to life in the slow lane. But, as he soon finds out, your past is only a second behind you...
In a meditation centre deep in the Chiltern Hills, Mike Yates is in a contemplative mood. His years of faithful service to the United Nations Intelligence Taskforce have come to an abrupt end, and he is having to take his leave of the people he has come to think of as family.
When the Brigadier suggests that his former Captain take a holiday in Morocco, Mike finds himself embroiled in an exciting battle with an old enemy that could mean the end for UNIT, the Doctor and the world...
Story notes
- The story is set in the three weeks the Doctor is returning from Metebelis III during TV: Planet of the Spiders.
- The story was later released as an audio story by BBV Productions, however the appearance of DWU characters was unlicensed so that release is not considered a valid source for writing on this wiki.
