This set contains three stories: 11.3 The Dreams of Avarice by Guy
Adams (4 parts). The Nine isn't your average robber. A ferociously
intelligent and murderous kleptomaniac Time Lord with regenerative
dissonance, he's a far more dangerous adversary than most security
details are used to. So it's useful that that Doctor is on hand to
stop him. This time more than ever - as the Nine is about to pull
off the greatest heist of his criminal career. Though could the
consequences be far worse than the crime? 11.4 Shellshock by Simon
Barnard and Paul Morris (4 parts). When the TARDIS lands behind
German lines at the height of the First World War the Doctor finds
himself inadvertently transported to a hospital full of traumatised
soldiers. They're suffering from shellshock but also something
else. Something causing vivid nightmares that chill the blood.
Something not of this place. Things are not quiet on the Western
Front. 11.5 Peake Season by Lizbeth Myles (2 parts). After an
embarrassing encounter, the Doctor tries to make amends to Mervyn
Peake by offering him a trip in the TARDIS. It's a trip the famous
author should never have accepted. Soon he and the Doctor find
themselves trapped in a nameless city and working as newspaper
cartoonists. Where are they? More importantly, where is the TARDIS?
And more importantly than that - can they escape with their lives?

This run of stories featuring Tom Baker as the Fourth Doctor
features four stories, loosely connected as the Doctor finds
himself the target of an enemy. This set contains: The Sinestran
Kill by Andrew Smith. When the Doctor decides to trace an anomalous
energy signature on twentieth century Earth, he stumbles into an
assassination attempt. Gangland thugs are trying to murder a
seemingly innocent shopkeeper, and it’s only the intervention of
the Doctor and Ann Kelso – a WPC who happens to be on the scene
– that prevents a tragedy. But why do the gangsters want the
shopkeeper dead? And what does this have to do with alien
technology? The first stages of a grand conspiracy are about to be
revealed. And finding the answers will take Ann Kelso on a journey
like no other. Planet of the Drashigs by Phil Mulryne. When the
TARDIS lands on an alien planet, the Doctor’s intentions to show
Ann Kelso an advanced future society are thrown into disarray.
Because they have arrived on DrashigWorld - a park where every
known species of the terrifying predators has been gathered
together to entertain and thrill the public. The familiar wetland
Drashigs, the albino burrowing Drashigs of the desert, and
deadliest of all, the tiny Emerald Drashigs of the rain forests.
And it’s not the best day to have arrived. The park has been shut
down due to a visitor fatality. A Galactic Attractions inspector is
on site meaning everyone is extremely tense and under pressure.
It’s exactly the right circumstances in which someone might make
a mistake. And on Drashigworld, mistakes are deadly. The
Enchantress of Numbers by Simon Barnard and Paul Morris. The TARDIS
lands in the grounds of Newstead Abbey, Nottinghamshire, in 1850.
Mistaken for a medic and his maid, the Doctor and Ann are brought
to meet Ada Lovelace - the mother of computing and daughter of Lord
Byron - who has recently fallen ill. But the travellers are not
here by chance. Something odd is happening on Earth, and they’ve
determined that this place is the centre of it. Strange figures are
walking the land. Strange figures wearing bird-like masks. What do
they want with Ada? And how will it change the future of humanity?
The False Guardian by Guy Adams. Ann Kelso doesn’t like
mysteries. Keen to investigate the trail of the Sinestrans, she
sets the TARDIS on a new course... but flies into danger. Arriving
on a desolate world that the Doctor finds somehow familiar, the
TARDIS crew discover that something is wrong with time. The
inhabitants of an unusual complex are experimenting at the command
of their enigmatic director... somebody who has quite a strong
grudge against the Doctor.Facing an old foe who was presumed dead,
the travellers are soon trapped in a diabolical scheme. But is it
just the tip of the iceberg? Planet of the Drashigs features the
eponymous flesh-eating monsters for the first time on audio, after
their fan favourite debut in the Jon Pertwee story The Carnival of
Monsters! CAST: Tom Baker (The Doctor), Jane Slavin (WPC Ann
Kelso), John Leeson (K9), Frank Skinner (DCI Scott Neilson), Glynis

Wiles (Drones). Other parts played by members of the cast.
Surgery an essentially manual exercise in its early days, has
progressively grown richer in complementary techniques helping the
surgeon to perfect his movements and increase efficiency. This is
particularly the case with digestive surgery, which has been
thoroughly transformed by radiology, endoscopy and extemporaneous
examinations effected during surgical intervention. Such methods
make it possible for surgeons to develop subtle nuances in
operative techniques and to specify indi cations more and more
precisely. Ultrasonography must now be included among such
techniques. It supplements them and can sometimes even replace
them. For these reasons, this work devoted to the use of ultrasound
by the surgeon during surgical intervention is of great interest.
Two general conditions had to be met before ultrasonography could
be em ployed in abdominal surgery: the method and apparatus had to
be adapted to its surgical utilization, and the surgeon had to
adapt to a nonsurgical technique. The first condition has been
fulfilled for all purposes. Intraoperative sonograms can be
generated at a very high rate and are proving to be more and more
useful. The miniaturization of probes permits their application
almost everywhere with opti mal results. Of course, the costs are
still high, but one can expect them to decrease.
