TIME'S CHAMPION

An original novel featuring the sixth Doctor, Mel, Benton and Romana

'It seems that we have finally found each other, Doctor. A pity. I had hoped to avoid this reunion; I’ve been disappointed enough today already.'

2008: John Benton is celebrating his birthday by having a few friends
round to his house at Hilsley Halt. But the monsters are lurking.

1908: Writer George Mackenzie-Trench is suffering from writer’s block unable to foresee the ending of his novel, Time’s Champion, nor the consequences of its completion.

9908: The planet Caliban is under attack from Cyber-forces, and governor George Mackenzie-Trench intends to save their world by unleashing Abaddon, a powerful computer virus. But Abaddon has other instructions.

Meanwhile Gallifrey is under attack and the Keeper is seeking answers within the Matrix. President Romana is helpless: no-one is who they seem and the conspiracy goes even deeper than she can imagine. She needs the Doctor…

But the Doctor is on Earth in 2008, fighting to save the life of a child who must survive at all costs.

As Gallifrey is attacked by ghosts from the past, the Doctor, Mel and Benton find themselves in the middle of an epic and final battle as the ancient Gods choose their Champions and allow chaos to reign across all of time and space.

This adventure takes place between the the television stories THE TRIAL OF A TIME LORD and TIME AND THE RANI

CRAIG HINTON died in 2006 and this novel was his final, incomplete
and unpublished contribution to the world of DOCTOR WHO. It has been
completed by CHRIS McKEON and appears in print here for the first time.
