Downtime
(Marc Platt) |
|
On the Back Cover:
 Across
the room, in a high-backed leather chair, Victoria saw the old man from the
reading room. His face was curiously young for someone so long dead.
In 1966 The Doctor defeated the Great Intelligence, but he
knew it wasn't a final victory. And his companion Victoria, whose mind had once
hosted the evil entity, might still fall prey to its power.
Now it
seems that his fears are justified. In a Tibetan monastery, The Monks display
unearthly powers - UNIT are investigating. A new university has opened in
London with a secret agenda that may threaten the whole country. Victoria,
abandoned in an age very different from her own, and haunted by visions of a
father she refuses to believe is dead, is slipping into despair and madness.
But are the visions which plague her really hallucinations? Or has the Great
Intelligence once again made Earth its target for invasion? |
