The Time War between Daleks and Time Lords rages across the history of
the cosmos. Nowhere is safe. Worlds are ravaged by battles beyond their
understanding, but certain other races hunger to fight in the ultimate
conflict.
When Earth comes under threat, the War Doctor is drawn into Ollistra’s
schemes once again. But the wily Time Lord Cardinal has not foreseen
every move. The Dalek Time Strategist has its own game-pieces in play,
and when volatile forces with their own agenda join the fray, no-one can
predict how the war might turn…
3.1 The Shadow Vortex by David Llewellyn
Cardinal Ollistra exploits the War Doctor’s affection for Earth to send
him to East Berlin, 1961, on the trail of a Dalek agent. Lara Zannis
has breached the planet’s quantum shield on a very special mission for
the Dalek Time Strategist.
Caught between MI6 and the KGB, the War Doctor must first escape the
Stasi before he can hope to stop Lara. Cold War scientists are about to
make a breakthrough – the Daleks want control of the ‘Shadow Vortex’,
and Agent Zannis can provide it.
3.2 The Eternity Cage by Andrew Smith
Sontarans are the ultimate warriors – so they believe – and the Time
War the ultimate conflict. Denied that glory by Skaro and Gallifrey
alike, General Fesk of the Eighth Sontaran Battle Fleet employs a
dangerous strategy to draw both sides to the planet Rovidia and prove
his forces worthy…
Meanwhile, the War Doctor leads a rescue mission, aided by Rovidian
street-urchin Kalan. Neither Daleks nor Time Lords expect the Sontarans
to be so fearsome a foe, until they uncover the secret of the Eternity
Cage.
3.3 Eye of Harmony by Ken Bentley
In the aftermath of events on Rovidia, the Dalek Time Strategist is
presented with a unique opportunity to strike a lethal blow to the heart
of Gallifrey. A devastating power is set to be unleashed, and with
agents in place ready to do the bidding of the Dalek Time Strategist,
the future of the Time War could turn in an instant.
Trapped inside a critically-damaged Battle-TARDIS, hopelessly adrift in
the Time Vortex, the War Doctor and his allies have a final desperate
fight on their hands...
