Four new stories from the First Doctor's era: 1. E is For... by
Julian Richards. All is not right on the planet Malkus. Every day
more and more monstrosities are born; people with powers and
abilities far beyond those of normal men and women. They call these
people "the Gifted." And Susan has become one of them. Separated
from her friends in a Police State dedicated to hunting people like
her, Susan finds herself in a prison which has destroyed countless
lives. And at its centre, at its heart, waiting, is the most
dangerous monster of all... 2. The Crumbling Magician by Guy Adams.
The TARDIS has crashed, its passengers in a bad way. The Doctor,
not in the best of health anyway, his old body wearing somewhat
thin, is in a coma, Ben unconscious. As for Polly, she's been
affected worst of all. Time is running in the wrong order for her
and she's seen the future, a future in which she's mortally
wounded. But will Continuity allow her to die? 3. The Vardan
Invasion of Earth by Paul Morris and Ian Atkins. The Doctor and
Steven think they've arrived in London 1956, but the TARDIS
disagrees. When both the Doctor and his craft are lost, it's down
to Steven to solve a mystery that holds his fate in its grasp. With
the help of comic Teddy Baxter, Steven's going to have to find a
way into Television. 4. The Crumbling Magician by Guy Adams The
