Publisher's summary[]
The war between the Sontarans and the Rutans has been going on for Millennia. And is likely to continue for millennia more.
Its reach can encompass ancient Ireland and a forest world in the far future. Encounters with UNIT and a Doctor no more.
From the outside these battles may seem disconnected. But sometimes there is a common thread. And unpicking that could destroy everything.
When a trip to the planet Taxodon goes wrong the Doctor finds himself with mere hours to prove himself innocent of murdering a Sontaran. As more die, the Doctor and Charley need to uncover the cause and why the Sontarans are even on this planet...if they have time.
