Past Doctor Adventure written by Mark Gatiss © 2000
An original novel featuring the third Doctor and Jo
'My name is Bliss,' said the newcomer, 'and I bring great news for you
all!'
The new owners of a Second World War aerodrome promise a golden dawn of
prosperity for the East Anglian village of Culverton. The population rejoices -
with one or two exceptions. Former Spitfire pilot Alec Whistler knows the
aerodrome of old, having found a strange, jade-coloured crystal there years
before...
When black-shirted troops appear on the streets, Whistler takes his
suspicions to his old friend Brigadier Lethbridge-Stewart. The Doctor and Jo
are sent to investigate and soon discover that all is not well in the seemingly
idyllic village.
What are the black coffin-like objects being unloaded at the aerodrome? What
horror lies behind Legion International's impeccable facade? And what is the
monstrous creature growing and mutating in the marsh?
As Culverton gears up for its summer fete, the Doctor finds himself involved
in a race against time to prevent a massive colonisation of Earth. For the last
of the Gaderene are on their way...
