Publisher's summary[[edit] | [edit source]]
History tells us that humanity will win the war against the Eminence. That Grand Administrator Walter Vincent will welcome home the sons and daughters of fighting and starvation.
The newscasters of Alliance Update will announce across the Ten Systems that planet Earth is open for business, its air purified and its people victorious. The Eminence will be no more.
This is all a matter of historical fact.
But the Doctor and the Master both know, history can be rewritten.
Every line.
