Product Description

In England a hotel worker has been turned to stone, an ancient lake has vanished, and the inmate of a mental hospital is being terrorised by unseen creatures. In Israel, in the shadow of Masada, an archaeological dig unearths something that should have stayed buried. The Doctor is sure he is dealing with a local and relatively straightforward temporal anomaly. Troy Game, a refugee from the planet Caresh, is not so certain. She believes the impending destruction of her home world is somehow linked to the events on Earth, and she is pinning her hopes on the Doctor to avert the catastrophe. But can the Doctor interfere with a planet's destiny? And should he risk his new-found freedom to do it?

Caresh and burn? No way!
This original Doctor Who story for The Third Doctor and Jo Grant is great fun and much better than many of its po-faced contemporaries that were released between 1999 and 2004 whilst the show was in its long hiatus. The whole idea of a human sci-fi geek encountering an alien visitor is a well-worn one, but like Torchwood's Eugene and Doctor Who's Elton, the character of Simon is brought to life with extreme pathos and despite acting according to type, displays true courage and character and really becomes someone the reader can engage with.
