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

On a visit to early 20th century Earth, Vicki receives a warning — if she leaves in the TARDIS, then she will die.

Unable to join her friends, Vicki is given an audience by a psychic called Violet, who contacts voices beyond this mortal plain.

And one of those voices is Vicki herself, who reveals what will happen at the ship's next landing place — and what terrible fate awaits...
