Time of Your Life (Steve
Lyons) |

On the Back Cover:
'Organic bugs must be purged from the system,' the screen
told him. Then, more succinctly, 'You die.'
The
Network broadcasts entertainment to the planets of the Meson system: Death-hunt
3000, Prisoner: The Next Generation, Bloodsoak Bunny... Sixteen channels, and
not one of them worth watching. But for the citizens of poverty-stricken
Torrok, television offers the only escape from a reality too horrible to face.
Angela, a young inhabitant of Torrok, leaps at the chance to
travel to the Network with a hermit who calls himself The Doctor. However, all
is not well on the giant, chaotic space station. A soap star has murdered his
wife's lover; the robotic regulars of Timeriders are performing random
kidnappings; and a lethal new game show is about to go on the air.
Can The Doctor uncover the cause of the apparently random disturbances - or will his
appearance as a competitor on Death-hunt 3000 be the last of his life?
