Loving the Alien

It is Victorian London and Jack the Ripper is stalking the streets -- or is it the Doctor? A crystal from the TARDIS' telepathic circuits has a serious effect on the Doctor's mind, and Ace finds herself isolated and in danger. What part is the Doctor being forced to play? What is the secret of the 12 shadow-TARDISes which eerily wait in silence for events to play out? Only as Ace runs for her life does she realize that the Doctor is at the mercy of a terrifying force from his own future -- one he may be powerless to stop. "The Doctor is on the run from a faceless enemy that knows his every thought and move. He flees to his past, planning to leave Ace in safe hands in order to fight on alone. But his enemy has other plans, and the Doctor's history no longer exists. The TARDIS is finally drawn to London in the winter of 1888, where the Doctor and Ace discover a dark secret from Gallifrey's past, and the name of their unseen opponent. It is Jack the Ripper."--Page 4 of cover Featuring the seventh Doctor Who and Ace, this novel is set in Victorian London, with Jack the Ripper stalking the streets - or is it the Doctor?
