Publisher's summary[[edit] | [edit source]]
The War Room co-ordinates the fight against the Daleks, but there is a battle for control. Rival Cardinals Rasmus and Ollistra manipulate Leela, Veklin and the General, seeking Rassilon’s favour. And beyond Gallifrey, Narvin and the Resistance are making their own moves to stop the Time War...
2.1 Collaborators by Katharine Armitage
Gallifrey and the Resistance are in a race to secure a vital alliance. But playing politics means secrets, lies and betrayal...and Leela, caught in the middle, must try to rescue honour from chaos.
2.2 Remnants by Georgia Cook
A distress call from a Gallifreyan outpost brings the General, Rasmus and Veklin into contact with weapons of the Time War from both sides. Trapped, young Time Lord Cresta fights for her life against a relentless foe.
2.3 Transference by Fio Trethewey
When a promising scientist is injured and his new technology stolen, Ollistra sets Leela on the trail. Her hunt takes her outside the Citadel to Lowtown, where a shock awaits. Narvin has returned to Gallifrey. But in trying to help his kin, he risks more than he knows.
2.4 Ambition's Debt by Katharine Armitage
Tensions run high in the War Room as the battle for control intensifies. A world has gone missing, the Daleks are too quiet, and something new lurks in the shadows...A dangerous plan is set in motion with the potential to change everything.

Notes[[edit] | [edit source]]
- The cover was created by Tom Newsom, with the Dalek renders provided by James Johnson. [1]
- As with previous renders, Johnson once again released a closer look at the Dalek design featured on the cover.[2] Whilst Berserker Daleks had previously featured on the cover of Comrades-in-Arms, this closer look elaborated on some design elements unique to these types of Daleks, such as a buzzsaw attachment, a heavy multiple-barrel firearm, tank-like tracks, and exhausts on the rear. Johnson's writeup indicates the saw attachment is able to cut through Silictone and Chronosteel.
