On the Back Cover:
 Promising his companion, Peri, high society elegance in
fin-de-siecle London, The Doctor manages to hit the right time, but the wrong
place...
The TARDIS has landed on the sun-baked veldt in the middle of
a Boer War skirmish. And soon The Doctor and Peri are involved in the
adventures of a struggling politician and war correspondent who they know is
destined for greater things - a certain Winston
Churchill. But mysterious
forces seem to be interfering in his potentially great career...
Arriving
in London, The Doctor and Peri enter high society but find themselves in a
world of intrigue populated by notorious figures from Wallis Simpson to Joachim
von Ribbentrop. And behind everything, The Doctor senses the hidden hand of the
Players - mysterious beings who regard human history as no more than a chess
board. Can The Doctor and Peri find the right moves to defeat them - before
it's too late? |
