Synopsis
The TARDIS is caught in the gravitational field of a dark star. The Doctor and Bernice are forced to evacuate, and find themselves stranded in medieval France - a time of crusades and war. They both realize that to leave history unchanged they may have to sacrifice far more than their lives.
Customer Reviews
A historical throwback
As a Doctor Who novel this offering by David Macintee is a bit of a curveball. It actually reads as a straightforward 'sword and sandals epic' rather than a Sci-fi story. This is not a bad thing in itself - after all the original concept of 'Doctor Who' lent itself to the TARDIS going back into Earth's past and involving the crew in shaping the planet's destiny. Unfortunately 'Sanctuary' is no 'Reign of Terror'; it's not even a 'Gunfighters'. Full marks for originality and presentation (great artwork usually leaves The Doctor out!); but that's as good as it gets.
