具体描述

When the Doctor defeated the Dalek Time Controller and its Time Lord ally, the timelines shifted and events changed... but the danger is far from over. And new threats to the continued safety of the universe are emerging.

Molly O'Sullivan carried on with her life as a nursing assistant in World War One. She probably thought she would never see the Doctor in his 'Tardy-box' again...

From the Dalek occupied planet Nixyce VII through Earth's history and to the very edge of the universe, the Doctor's footprints across eternity are being tracked by foes old and new. But when did it all begin and when will it end? Living his life through the complexities of time travel, the Doctor can never be quite sure if he's experiencing his life in the most helpful order. The only certainty appears to be the advance of the powers of evil and the oncoming threat of a fight to the death against forces that would destroy everything the Doctor holds dear.

Part 1: The Traitor

by Nicholas Briggs

Nixyce VII is under Dalek occupation. For many, their only hope of survival is decent medical care, as slave working conditions under the Dalek regime are appalling. But when you help people to survive under the rule of the Daleks, are you actually helping the Daleks? Med-tech Liv Chenka doesn't have the luxury of pondering these dilemmas. She must just do what she feels is right.

But then there are the soldiers of last resort... The freedom fighters left behind to cause maximum damage to the Dalek war effort, at whatever cost. To them, anyone who seems to be helping the Daleks is a traitor.

And when the Doctor arrives, his secret agenda throws him into conflict with everyone.

Part 2: The White Room

by Alan Barnes

Molly O'Sullivan is still trying to help people, but now she is back in London, staying in Baker Street.

But there are dangerous forces abroad. Where are the young deserters disappearing to? Who are the Huntsmen? And what is really going on at the Blackwell Convalescent Home?

Perhaps the mysterious 'Surgeon General' has the answers. To find out, the Doctor must tackle an old and baffling enemy.

Part 3: Time's Horizon

by Matt Fitton

The Doctor and Molly find themselves at the very edge of creation. But something dangerous seems to be heading back into the known universe from the very end of time.

The crew of the cryo-ship Orpheus, including its medical officer Liv Chenka, have their mission parameters to adhere to; but the arrival of the Doctor and Molly changes everything. An ancient and terrible force is on a collision course with them all and the outcome seems to be a matter of divine destiny.

Part 4: Eyes of the Master

by Matt Fitton

The Doctor, Liv and Molly arrive back on Earth in the 1970s to investigate the Ides Institute. The timelines have shifted since the Doctor and Molly first travelled here and all is not as it was. Dr Sally Armstrong is still working for the Ides, but her associate has a devastating plan in mind.

Soon, Molly's 'dark eyes' prove to be at the centre of a plot to seize control of all life in the universe.

用户评价

这次阅读体验，就像是参加了一场精心策划的、跨越了数个星系的寻宝游戏，但奖品不是黄金，而是对宇宙更深层次的理解。作者对于构建复杂世界观的热衷，在这本书里得到了淋漓尽致的展现。每一个新出现的星球、每一个新的物种，都有其独特的社会结构、历史背景乃至语言习惯，这种细节的考究程度，简直令人发指。我尤其欣赏作者处理时间线的方式，它不是简单的线性叙事，而是像一张巨大的网，过去、现在、未来的碎片在不同的章节中交织、碰撞，制造出一种时空扭曲的美感。阅读过程中，我不得不经常翻回前文，确认某个事件的先后顺序，但这绝不是枯燥的，反而像是在解开一个精巧的谜题。书中对于科技的描绘也相当大胆，那些超越我们现有理解的机械和能量形式，被描述得既神秘又充满逻辑，丝毫没有为了炫技而炫技的感觉。那些宏大的战争场面，充满了想象力，爆炸声似乎都能穿透纸页，但同时，作者又没有忽视战争对个体心灵造成的创伤，这种对立统一的处理，让故事的厚度大大增加。我很少能读到如此有野心、且成功实现了其野心的科幻作品。

这本书给我的感受是极其疏离而又异常亲密的矛盾统一体。一方面，故事的尺度宏大到令人窒息，涉及的势力和冲突横跨了数不清的年代，那种冷酷的宇宙法则和不可逆转的熵增感，让人不禁感到人类自身的渺小。另一方面，作者却非常擅长捕捉角色内心最微小的波动。主角团队之间的友情、猜疑、牺牲和误解，被描绘得极为真实，他们不是扁平的超级英雄，而是有缺憾、会犯错的个体。我尤其佩服作者如何处理“视角”的问题，某些关键事件，从不同角色的眼中看出去，得出的结论是截然不同的，这迫使我作为读者不断地去审视自己的判断，质疑眼前的“真相”。书中那些关于道德困境的描写，更是令人深思。当面对“牺牲少数以拯救多数”这种经典难题时，书中人物的选择往往不是非黑即白的，而是充满了痛苦的灰色地带。读完之后，我花了很久才从那种沉重的思辨状态中走出来，它迫使我重新审视自己对正义和必要的理解。这已经超越了普通的小说范畴，更像是一部关于“何以为人”的哲学探讨。

如果用一个词来形容这本书的文笔，那一定是“华丽”与“精准”的完美结合。作者的语言功力令人叹服，他能用极其精准的词汇勾勒出令人惊叹的画面，无论是描写一颗正在崩塌的恒星，还是描述一场寂静无声的精神交锋，文字都带着一种独特的韵律感。我尤其喜欢作者在描述一些抽象概念时的技巧，比如“时间的重量”、“记忆的腐蚀性”这类无法用物理形式衡量的东西，都被赋予了具体的感官体验，读者可以“触摸”到它们。叙事结构上，它采用了非传统的回溯和闪回手法，但处理得极其高明。每一次时间跳跃，都不是简单的信息填充，而是为了揭示一个更深层次的动机或者一个尚未被察觉的伏笔。那种“原来如此！”的顿悟感贯穿始终。这本书的阅读门槛稍高，因为它要求读者必须全神贯注，任何一个错过的细节都可能导致后续情节理解的偏差，但这种挑战性正是其魅力所在。它奖励那些愿意投入时间和精力的读者，给予的回报是远超预期的智力满足感和审美愉悦。

这本书简直是太空歌剧的典范，作者的想象力简直是天马行空，完全超出了我对科幻小说的固有认知。故事的节奏把握得恰到好处，从一开始的悬念迭起，到中间层层深入的阴谋揭露，再到最后那场宏大而又充满个人情感的终极对决，每一步都牢牢抓住了读者的心。角色塑造方面尤其出色，那些跨越了时间与空间的生命，他们的动机、他们的挣扎，都被刻画得入木三分。我特别喜欢那个核心人物的成长弧线，他从一个略显青涩的探险者，逐渐蜕变成一个能够承担宇宙重量的守护者，那种内心的转变，细腻到让人感同身受。读到一些关键转折点时，我甚至需要放下书本，深呼吸几口，才能消化其中蕴含的哲学思考。它不仅仅是一个关于旅行和冒险的故事，更是一部探讨存在、时间悖论和伦理困境的深度作品。那种扑面而来的史诗感，让我感觉自己仿佛真的跟随主角们穿越了虫洞，亲历了那些文明的兴衰。情节的复杂度很高，但作者的叙事功力极强，即使信息量巨大，也从不让人感到混乱，反而有一种精妙的结构美感。我愿意花上好几个晚上，反复品味其中那些关于“为什么”的追问。

这本书给我的整体印象是“狂野的浪漫主义”。它不拘泥于已有的科幻设定，敢于挑战那些被认为是禁忌的主题，比如文明的周期性毁灭与重建，或者个体意识在宇宙尺度下的微不足道。故事中不乏令人心跳加速的动作场面，那些追逐战和能量武器的对决，描写得紧张刺激，画面感极强，仿佛下一秒就能看到电影预告片。但最吸引我的是，在这场盛大的宇宙史诗背景下，始终存在着一股强烈的、几乎是个人化的情感驱动力。主角们为了维护某种脆弱的美好——也许是某段失落的文明遗迹，也许是对某个特定人物的承诺——而不惜对抗整个宇宙的既定法则。这种“以卵击石”的勇气，被作者描绘得无比动人。它成功地将冰冷的宇宙法则与炽热的人类情感焊接在了一起。读完后，我感觉自己的精神被极大地拓宽了，仿佛在短时间内经历了无数次生死考验，对“可能性”的边界也有了全新的认知。绝对是一部值得反复阅读并深入思考的杰作。

因为一口气买了四部，不得不听完，冲动消费要不得。可能和Nicholas Briggs气场不合吧。
