|

a planet called Heaven, all hell is breaking loose.

Seventh Doctor |
|
Heaven
is a cemetery for both humans and Draconians - a final place of
rest for those lost during wartime. The Doctor arrives on a trivial
mission - to find a book, or so he says - and Ace, wandering around
Joycetown, becomes involved with a charismatic Traveller called
Jan.
But
the Doctor is strenuously opposed to the romance.
What is he trying to prevent? Is he planning
some more deadly game connected with the coffins
revered by the mysterious Church of Vacuum
and the unusual Arch that marks the location
of a secret building below ground?
Archaeologist
Bernice Summerfield thinks so. Her destiny
is inextricably linked with that of the Doctor,
but even she may not be able to save Ace from
the Time Lord's plans.
This
time, has the Doctor gone too far?
