Publisher's summary[[edit] | [edit source]]

Imagine a war. A war that has lasted centuries, a war which has transformed an entire planet into a desolate No Man's Land. A war where time itself is being used as a weapon.

You can create zones of decelerated time and bring the enemy troops to a standstill. You can create storms of accelerated time and reduce the opposition to dust in a matter of seconds.

But now the war has reached a stalemate. Neither the Plutocrats nor the Defaulters have made any gains for over a hundred years.

The Doctor, Fitz and Anji arrive at Isolation Station Forty, a military research establishment on the verge of a breakthrough. A breakthrough which will change the entire course of the war.

They have found a way to send soldiers back in time. But time travel is a primitive, unpredictable and dangerous business. And not without its own sinister side effects...

Notes[[edit] | [edit source]]

  • The cover is similar to a sketch of Romana II seen in the television story City of Death.
  • According to fellow series author Jonathan Blum, Morris has said that the clock-faced men in the story are meant to be Faction Paradox, although this is not made explicit in the text. This was later made explicit in the Faction Paradox short story The Story So Far..., and the typography of "Clock-People" rather than "clock-people" was first used in Out of the Box [+]Loading...["[[Out of the Box (short story)]]"]
