Past Doctor Adventure written by Simon Messingham © 1998
An original novel featuring the fifth Doctor, Nyssa and Tegan
You've decided to concentrate on deriving energy from the kinetic force
of planetary movement...'
A glib remark from the Doctor to a desparate scientist has had far-reaching
effects on the empire of Morestra. Eminent Morestran scientist Sorenson,
attempting to find a new power source for his planet, risked a universal
catastrophe by attempting to steal anti-matter crystals from the distant planet
of Zeta Minor. The Doctor averted disaster, but has in effect sent all Morestra
up a technological cul-de-sac.
Now in his fifth regeneration, the Doctor becomes involved once again in
Morestra's future. The empire has become a theocracy, and the all-powerful
Church, finally discovering that Sorenson's world-spanning energy tower will
never work, is attempting to save face by covertly returning to Zeta Minor to
steal the powerful minerals they need. This time, they believe they are
prepared for all eventualities...
With his companions embroiled in the ever-shifting loyalties and intrigues
of the Morestran court, only the Doctor accepts that the forces of the
anti-matter universe can never interact with our own. Can he stop something he
started two thousand years ago?
