Eighth Doctor Adventure written by Gary Russell © 1998
It is 3999. An artificial planetoid, Micawber's World, is hosting the
Intergalactic Olympic Games, and athletes from all the worlds in the Galactic
Federation are coming to take part. But when the Doctor and Sam arrive, murders
soon begin...
The Doctor finds himself drafted in to examine some bizarre new drugs that
are said to enhance the natural potential of the competing athletes. But what
is their real purpose? Why are members of the Security Forces disappearing
randomly? And just why is Chase Carrington, manufacturer of the drug, so
protective of his company's secrets?
Watching and waiting, at the very heart of Micawber's World, is a race of
parasites the Doctor has fought before. The Wirrrn have come to the Milky Way
from Andromeda, determined to spread their seed throughout a whole new galaxy,
and it seems to Sam that the Doctor's hands are too full to pay their threat
full attention...
