Cover Blurb

 

Join the crew of the TARDIS for Doctor Who’s legendary time-traveling adventure, the E-Space Trilogy.  The TARDIS has been drawn into an alternate universe, thrusting the Doctor and Romana into a weird realm of strange planets, treacherous creatures and bizarre echoes of the universe they left behind.  Escape from E-Space will present the Doctor and friends with their greatest challenge ever-if they can survive long enough to try.


Volume 3 - Warriors' Gate

A strange creature forces its way into the TARDIS while the Doctor is searching for a way out of E-Space. It steers them to a white voice occupied only by the ruins of an old building and a sinister spaceship. The void is actually a gateway to the past and future, a cosmic mirror guarded by ax-wielding robots. And the creature that brought them here is Biroc, a Tharil, a race doomed to be hunted and enslaved. Biroc seeks freedom for his people, while the captain of the spaceship seeks escape from the alternate universe -- and will kill every Tharil he holds to break free. The gateway offers the only exit, but the void is contracting. Are the Doctor and his friends fated to spend eternity in E-Space?

 





Additional Notes
warriorsgate_a.jpg (10820 bytes)
  • This is the final story in the E-Space trilogy.  By the stories end the Doctor makes it back to N-Space.

 

  • By the stories end the Doctor has lost 2 companions, Romana and K9.  They opt to stay behind in E-Space and help to free the other Tharils.  At least Romana didn't have to marry one of them.  ;)

 

  • When K-9 starts smoldering from the time winds in episode 1 watch closely for that whopping big clear tube behind him to fill with smoke first.

 

  • Watch for amusing performances by Aldo and Royce, played respectively by Freddie Earlle and Harry Waters.
