Publisher's summary[]

Some time after leaving UNIT, Liz Shaw calls the Doctor to Cambridge University, where scientists are experimenting with time dilation. The device hurls them to the year 2014 and a meeting with Richard Beauregard, heir to the Beauregard estate.

Yet there's something rotten at the core of this family... The seeds of a political movement that believes in a new world order.

The Sentinels of the New Dawn are stirring and its malign influence will be felt for centuries to come...
