The Dying Days of the Twentieth Century
On the
Mare Sirenum, British astronauts are walking on the surface of Mars for the
first time in over twenty years. The National Space Museum in London is the
venue for a spectacular event where the great and the good celebrate a unique
British achievement.
In
Adisham, Kent, the most dangerous man in Britain has escaped from custody while
being transported by helicopter. In Whitehall, the new Home Secretary is
convinced that there is a plot brewing to overthrow the government. In west
London, MI5 agents shut down a publishing company that got too close to the top
secret organisation known as UNIT. And, on a state visit to Washington, the
Prime Minister prepares to make a crucial speech, totally unaware that dark
forces are working against him.
As the
eighth Doctor and Professor Bernice Summerfield discover, all these events are
connected. However, soon all will be overshadowed.
This time,
The Doctor is already too late. |
