[edit] Publisher’s Summary
Imagine a war. A war that has lasted centuries, a war which has transformed an entire planet into a desolate No Man’s Land. A war where time itself is being used as a weapon.
You can create zones of decelerated time and bring the enemy troops to a standstill. You can create storms of accelerated time and reduce the opposition to dust in a matter of seconds.
But now the war has reached a stalemate. Neither the Plutocrats nor the Defaulters have made any gains for over a hundred years.
The Doctor, Fitz and Anji arrive at Isolation Station Forty, a military research establishment on the verge of a breakthrough. A breakthrough which will change the entire course of the war.
They have found a way to send soldiers back in time. But time travel is a primitive, unpredictable and dangerous business. And not without its own sinister side effects...

[edit] Notes
- Going backwards in time is ‘uphill’, thus it’s harder to travel back in time than forwards.
- The cover is simular to a sketch of Romana II seen in DW: City of Death.
[edit] Continuity
- The TARDIS crew use a crank handle (first seen in Death to the Daleks) when the TARDIS loses power.
