Publisher's summary[[edit] | [edit source]]
The Doctor's attempts to return home have led him to the middle of a war zone... and a familiar voice.
The travellers have arrived on a planet made up of crashed space-ships where they encounter River Song... Or do they? Because she's dressed as a Movellan and claims to be a member of that robot race. Is she undercover, a duplicate, or something more sinister?
And more importantly... who is her son?
