Book description
In the far future, the Doctor, Rose and Captain Jack find a world on
which fiction has been outlawed. A world where it's a crime to tell
stories, a crime to lie, a crime to hope, and a crime to dream. But
now somebody is challenging the status quo. A pirate TV station urges
people to fight back. And the Doctor wants to help until he sees how
easily dreams can turn into nightmares. With one of his companions
stalked by shadows and the other committed to an asylum, the Doctor is
forced to admit that fiction can be dangerous after all. Though
