New Adventure written by Kate Orman © 1997
'Dear Doctor,' wrote Chris, 'I give up.'
Swordplay, samurai, demons, magic, aliens, adventure, excitement... Who needs them?
The Doctor and Chris travel to sixteen-century Japan, a country gripped by
civil war as feudal lords vie for control. Anything could tip the balance of
power. So when a god falls out of the sky, everyone wants it.
As villagers are healed and crops grow far too fast, the Doctor and Chris
try to find the secret of the miracles - before the two rival armies can start
a war over who owns the god. Chris soon finds himself alone - except for an
alien slaver, a time-travelling Victorian inventor, a gang of demons, an old
friend with suspicious motives, a village full of innocent bystanders, and
several thousand samurai.
Without the Doctor, someone has to take up the challenge of adventure and
stop the god from falling into the wrong hands. Someone has to be a hero - but
Chris isn't sure he wants to be a hero any more.
