The Doctor meets old friends - and old enemies. But which is which -
and who is Who? One thing is sure: they all have a story to tell...
The Story Demon by Julian Richards
The Doctor and Mrs Clarke find themselves on a forest world where human
settlers shelter from the night in a village built from wrecked
spaceships, living in fear of the Birnamen, creatures who raid their
settlement leaving death in their wake.
But are the Birnamen really to blame? Or does the truth lie with the
villagers' 'Story Demon', the hollow travel casing of a very familiar
alien creature which they use to entertain their children...
The Key to Many Worlds by Paul Magrs
The Doctor and Constance arrive in thirteenth century Baghdad and
encounter an ageing and disenchanted Marco Polo. His adventures at an
end, he has been ordered to transport a certain enchantress back to the
Doge's palace in Venice. The Doctor realises his danger too late, as his
mind is swapped with that of the enchantress - the notorious Iris
Wildthyme!
Now clapped in irons and trapped in Iris's form, the Doctor is
dragged along in Marco's caravan as it trails across the desert once
more... and only Mrs Clarke can save him.
Inconstancy by Ian Potter
On the highly regulated colony world of Hoi, the Doctor is captured by
the authorities and taken to the forbidden zone for 're-education'. Mrs
Clarke escapes and discovers an amorphous being in hiding. This protean
creature craves purpose and identity, and wants Constance to make it an
instrument of her will. Desperate to rescue the Doctor, she agrees - and
suddenly Hoi is threatened by a swarm of wild and ravenous Mrs Clarkes!
