Past Doctor Adventure written by Keith Topping and Martin Day © 1998
An original novel featuring the seventh Doctor and Ace
The village was cursed centuries ago, but only now is the alien evil beginning to revive...
The children of Hexen Bridge are gifted and clever, but insanity and murder
follow in their wake. The Doctor has a special interest in the village, but on
his return to England in the early twenty-first century, events seem to be
escalating out of control.
Kidnapped and taken to Liverpool, the Doctor realises that developments in
Hexen Bridge have horrifying repercussions for the rest of the country. Ace is
left in the village, where small-minded prejudices and unsettled scores are
flaring into violence.
As scarecrows fashioned from the bodies of the recent and ancient dead stalk
the country lanes around Hexen Bridge, a sinister dark stain is spreading over
the surrounding fields. And as the fierce evil grows ever stronger, can the
Doctor and Ace prevent it from engulfing the entire world?
