Why are all five Doctors being removed from their separate time-streams? Who is the enemy they will have to unite against? What will become of the Doctors when the battle is over?

I especially enjoyed hearing the Brigadier again, and the conversations between the various Doctors. Great audiobook! SteffiJen View profile Like Liked 0 Open in new window Statistics AVG.
