Relative Dementias (Mark

On the Back
Cover:
'Do Time Lords get Alzheimer's disease?' asked
Ace.
'Oh, we get far worse things than that, Ace. The dementias that
plague us are much, much darker.'
Collecting
his post in the London of 2012, The Doctor and Ace are called through time to
south-east Scotland to help out an old friend - an old friend who's vanished.
They find themselves at Graystairs, an Alzheimer's treatment clinic and a place
of healing, where the patients seem to be gaining a new lease of life.
But whose life is it?
Why is The Doctor so reluctant to talk about what happened in the TARDIS? What is alien
technology doing in a tumbled-down cottage? Why are cats and dogs - not to
mention people - disappearing? Who is the shadowy figure stalking The Doctor
and Ace - and what is the secret of the mysterious Miss Chambers who no one
remembers meeting?
Soon, The Doctor and Ace find out the hard way
that actions have consequences - and that there's more than one kind of
dementia. |
