On the Back Cover:

In 1929, Lord Barset's expedition to the Antarctic is lost without trace. Or so it seems…

Nearly a century later, his grandson funds a much-publicized return to the icy wastes. His mission: to discover what happened to the original expedition. But what he finds instead is an enigma – a battered London police box frozen in ice millennia old.

But something else lies in wait in this awful place, something from an era before humankind set foot on the continent's cold soil. A menace frozen in time.

Until now.

 “A long time ago, when Gary Russell, John Ainsworth and I were doing our Doctor Who work just for fun, I wrote an audio play called Endurance. It featured a character called Lord Barset, who in 1929, ventured into the frozen wastes of the Antarctic, only to meet a terrible fate. Now, I wouldn’t go so far as to say that Frozen Time is either a rewrite or a sequel to that dusty old audio cassette adventure, but it certainly does owe some of its inspiration to it. For those in the know, see if you can guess exactly which bit of inspiration. Go on. Just for fun…”

”Nick Briggs is no stranger to writing exciting action adventures in far-flung galaxies, but here the environment in which he places his protagonists is so harsh, so unforgiving, so alien that you have to keep reminding yourself that this place actually exists right here on Earth. Life in Antarctica is always on a knife edge and this really ramps up the tension in Frozen Time. The script demands a lot from its cast and the actors certainly rose to the challenge, delivering moments of breathtaking brutality alongside scenes of heartbreaking tenderness. That’s what drama should be!”
