AbstractHistoryArchive Description

'The schoolboy whose twin brother vanished in the night. A woman whose house teems with alien refugees. The dad who dies every evening...

All through space and time live people, ordinary people, whose lives have been turned upside down.

People who've lost jobs and loved ones, or seen their homes destroyed, or found themselves on whole other planets. They've nothing in common with one another except that their lives can never be the same. Because they're people who've met the Doctor.'

Notes

  • This collection resulted from a competition held by Big Finish to find new authors for the Doctor Who anthologies. Although the winner, Michael Coen, had been published in Defining Patterns, it was decided that the contest had generated sufficient entries of sufficiently high quality to warrant a separate anthology.

  • Contents indexed selectively.

'An eco-demonstration is taking place outside the gates of the U.S. military base at Pine Gap near Alice Springs. The Doctor talks to a girl with telepathic powers ('plinging in her words). Using her powers the Doctor permits her to see the future by tapping into his memories, particularly her future and the incident where her use of her powers kills two hundred people at the base. She promises herself and the Doctor that she will not abuse her abilities and the vision will never come true.'
