Festival of Death
(Jonathan
Morris) |
|
On the Back Cover:
 The
Beautiful Death. The ultimate theme-park ride. For twenty galactic credits, you
can find out what it's like to be dead.
But
something has gone wrong. Visitors expecting a sightseeing tour of the
afterlife have been transformed into mindless zombies, set on a killing
rampage.
The TARDIS arrives in the aftermath of the disaster and, to
The Doctor's baffled delight, he is immediately congratulated for saving the
population from certain and terrible destruction.
The only
problem is, he hasn't actually done it yet.
Aided and
abetted by a drug-addled hippie lizard, a hard-hitting investigative reporter
and a suicidal ship's computer, The Doctor has no choice but to travel back in
time and discover exactly how he became a hero.
And then
he finds out. He did it by sacrificing his life. |
