Andy:

To Deborah Powell, in the unlikely event that you ever read this, for persuading me to remove the line 'my heart leaped within me like a salmon' and thus rendering the book readable at least.

And to Justin Richards, Craig Hinton, Andrew Martin and Mike Nicholson - friends then and friends now.

Justin:

For Alison, Julian and Christian, as and for ever.  And to friends then and now: Andy (of course), Andrew, Craig, Dave, David, Gary, both Peters, other Andrew, and the rest of the DumbleCon crowd.  And Steve.

Banquo Manor - scene of a gruesome murder a hundred years ago.  Now history is about to repeat itself.

1898 - the age of advancement, of electricity, of technology.  Scientist Richard Harries is preparing to push the boundries of science still further, into a new area: the science of the mind.

Pieced together at last from the accounts of solicitor John Hopkinson and Inspector Ian Stratford of Scotland Yard, the full story of Banquo Manor can now be told.

Or can it?  Even Hopkinson and Stratford don't know the truth about the mysterious Doctor Friedlander and his associate Herr Kreiner - noted forensic scientists from Germany who have come to witness the experiment.

And for the Doctor, time is literally running out.  He knows that Compassion is dying.  He's aware that he has lost his own ability to regenerate.  He's worried by Fitz's fake German accent.  And he's desperate to uncover the Time Lord agent who has him trapped.

Notes:
From the back of the book Time Zero

Justin Richards has no cat.  He might (or might not) have had a cat when he was a child, but if he did he never ever put it in a box.  He does have two children, but that's not the same thing at all.  Believe me, if you have a cat and you're thinking of trading up for kids, there is a big difference.

When he isn't busy with his children, Justin acts as Creative Consultant to BBC Worldwide's various Doctor Who book ranges as well as doing some writing of his own - novels, audios, television, non fiction and other 'stuff'.  Presumably this is done during the time he would have had to spend with the cat, so given that Justin never has enough time for writing, he's thinking of not getting another one.

  • I try to maintain page numbers for audiobooks even though obviously there aren't any. I do this to keep track of pages read and I try to use the Kindle version page numbers for this.
  • Synopses marked with an asterisk (*) were generated by an AI. There aren't a lot since this is an iffy way to do it - AI seems to make stuff up.
  • When specific publication dates are unknown (ie prefixed with a "Cir"), I try to get the publication date that is closest to the specific printing that I can.
  • When listing chapters, I only list chapters relevant to the story. I will usually leave off Author Notes, Indices, Acknowledgements, etc unless they are relevant to the story or the book is non-fiction.
  • Page numbers on this site are for the end of the main story. I normally do not include appendices, extra material, and other miscellaneous stuff at the end of the book in the page count.
