Author's introduction by Lance Parkin
A view to a kill
At heart, the book was designed as an affirmation of what Doctor Who was in the mid-nineties. A hymn to the fact that the books had moved things on, that we’d left Doctor Who in a better state than we found it.
It was also a unique thing – a ‘last Doctor Who’ story. A chance, like Dark Knight Returns or the Star Trek: The Next Generation episode All Good Things, to put a capstone on the legend. And I could kill him. This was one book where the Doctor might not make it.
