The Doctor is gone, replaced by a warrior who has entered the Time War between the Daleks and Gallifrey. However, how far will he go to end the conflict? What lines will he cross? How much of himself will he sacrifice? And can a chance of redemption lie in changing the fate of a fellow soldier?

This story contains three new adventures:

1. A Mothers Love by Noga Flaishon:
Responding to a distress call, the War Doctor arrives on Haven: a state-of-the-art Time Lord field hospital, operated by the highly advanced 'Medbay Operation Mainframe – or M.O.M. However, the station has been compromised. M.O.M.'s secrets run deep, time is running out, and the War Doctor must renew some old alliances if everyone is to get out alive.

2. Beserker by Timothy X Atack:
Sunspire was devastated by the Daleks centuries ago. The last of its people are returning to seek out their heritage in an underground bunker, and save their species from extinction. Case and the War Doctor join the mission, posing as a Dalek-Killer and her squire. However, the bunker has an occupant: a single Berserker Dalek, driven insane by four hundred years of solitude.

3. Memnos by Phil Mulryne:
Memnos: a secret Time Lord project, recording everything lost to the Time War. A place where the War Doctor can admit his part in the conflict and seek solace – and perhaps where he can find salvation for Case. However, the Dalek Time Strategist will not let slip her potential. She could be the Daleks' greatest weapon. The battle for Case's soul will be won or lost in Memnos.
