‘A thought-provoking tale’ – Doctor Who Magazine

Fleeing from your rising tide on a distant planet, the physician and his close friends are attacked by a swarm of what look like tiny bugs. Wracked by hallucinations, Jamie is normally transported back to his house in the Highlands, whilst Victoria views her late father.

The travellers meet up with the survivors of Elysian Areas, a travelling medical center that provides patients a choice between the Knife of Longing and the Angel of Forgetting. When following the spaceship lands, the TARDIS staff are offered the chance of an eternity.

For Victoria, the guarantee of meeting her father again proves too alluring to resist. But what terrible cost must she pay, along with anyone else who makes a pact with Elysian Areas?

Frazer Hines, who played Jamie in the BBC Television series, reads this intriguing primary tale by David Bishop.
