The Dying Days of the Twentieth Century
On the Mare Sirenum, British astronauts are walking on the surface of Mars
for the first time in over twenty years. The National Space Museum in London is
the venue for a spectacular event where the great and the good celebrate a
unique British achievement.
In Adisham, Kent, the most dangerous man in Britain has escaped from custody
while being transported by helicopter. In Whitehall, the new Home Secretary is
convinced that there is a plot brewing to overthrow the government. In west
london, MI5 agents shut down a publishing company that got too close to the top
secret organisation known as UNIT. And, on a state visit to Washington, the
Prime Minister prepares to make a crucial speech, totally unaware that dark
forces are working against him.
As the eighth Doctor and Professor Bernice Summerfield discover, all these
events are connected. However, soon all will be overshadowed.
This time, the Doctor is already too late.
