Placebo Effect
(Garry
Russell) |

On the Back Cover:
 It is
3999. An artificial planetoid, Micawber's World, is hosting the Intergalactic
Olympic Games, and athletes from all the worlds in the Galactic Federation are
coming to take part. But when The Doctor and Sam arrive, murders soon
begin...
The Doctor finds himself drafted in to examine some bizarre
new drugs that are said to enhance the natural potential of the competing
athletes. But what is their real purpose? Why are members of the Security
Forces disappearing randomly? And just why is Chase Carrington, manufacturer of
the drug, so protective of his company's secrets?
Watching
and waiting, at the very heart of Micawber's World, is a race of parasites The Doctor has fought before. The Wirrrn have come to the Milky Way from Andromeda,
determined to spread their seed throughout a whole new galaxy, and it seems to
Sam that The Doctor's hands are too full to pay their threat full
attention... |
