<i>‘This time, anarchy’s real. There are power cuts and Wilson’s resignation, a great upheaval of unease. But now there's real fear too. Real panic. And that’s not how it’s supposed to be.’</i> Somebody has been toying with the Seventh Doctor’s past, testing him, threatening him, leading him on a chase that has brought the TARDIS to London in 1976⁠ — where reality has been altered once again. Black Star terrorists foment riots in the streets. The Queen barely escapes assassination. A fearful tension is rising. Something is going to happen. Something bad. Meanwhile, Benny’s the lead singer in a punk band. Ace can’t talk to her or the Doctor without an argument starting, so she’s made murderous plans of her own. The Doctor’s alone⁠ — he doesn’t know who his enemy is, and even the Brigadier has disowned him. As usual, it’s up to the Doctor to protect the world. And he can’t even protect himself.
