London Synopsis The first half of 1969, was a busy time for Alistair Lethbridge-Stewart. Not only did he encounter the Great Intelligence more than once, and the Dominators and Quarks, he visited an alternative reality, and encountered ghosts on Fang Rock. But that was only the start! Did you hear about his transfer from Libya? Or the mysterious Cult of the Grinning Man? What about the alien spheres at Christmas? Then perhaps the bunker under London? If not, then this book is for you. A collection of short stories, previously only available as digital downloads. Includes a brand new, never-before-published story that deals with the dating issue which has plagued much of Lethbridge-Stewart’s time in Doctor Who.

Made me appreciate just how finely crafted that original script is. Nothing much to grab onto here. 15thDoctor View profile Like Liked 1 Open in new window Statistics More Ratings Needed! 3 ratings Member Statistics Read 10 Favourited 0 Reviewed 1 Saved 1 Skipped 4 Related Stories Classic Who S5 • Serial 5 · (5/6 episodes intact) The Web of Fear Rating: 3.90 Story Skipped Television Reviews(11) More Actions View Sets Close Related Sets Set of Stories: Doctor Who Season 5 Set of Stories: Doctor Who (1963-1996) Set of Stories: Second Doctor Add Review Edit Review Skip Skipped Unowned Owned Save to my list Saved Quotes Add Quote Submit a Quote
