Publisher's summary
Three brand new adventures featuring Christopher Eccleston as the Ninth Doctor.

Travelling the universe alone, The Doctor can’t help running into people he has met before. Some are new acquaintances, and some have a much longer history, back through all of his lives. But every one of them knows that in the face of danger, and when the monsters arrive, there’s no better friend to have by their side.

4.3 The Forth Generation by Roy Gill

The Forth Generation have emerged. The Doctor, the Brigadier, Sam and Fiona are at their mercy. Is there a way to defeat them? Has UNIT learned from the past? And can the enemy’s nature be changed for the future?
