Doctor Who: Players


Promising his companion, Peri, high society elegance in fin-de-siecle London, the Doctor manages to hit the right time, but the wrong place... The TARDIS has landed on the sun-baked veldt in the middle of a Boer War skirmish. And soon the Doctor and Peri are involved in the adventures of a struggling politician and war correspondent who they know is destined for greater things--a certain Winston Churchill. But mysterious forces seem to be interfering in his potentially great career... Arriving in London, the Doctor and Peri enter high society but find themselves in a world of intrigue populated by notorious figures from Wallis Simpson to Joachim von Ribbentrop. And behind everything, the Doctor senses the hidden hand of the Players---mysterious beings who regard human history as no more than a chessboard. Can the Doctor and Peri find the right moves to defeat them--before it's too late? This adventure takes place between the TV stories "The Mark of the Rani" and "The Two Doctors".
