Doctor Who: Arrangements For War (#57)
By Paul Sutton

Arrangements For War
From The Back Cover...

Onboard the TARDIS, nerves are strained.

After escaping the Forge and the murderous clutches of Nimrod, the Doctor and Evelyn have things to talk about. The Doctor's attitude towards death is a subject that these days is too close to Evelyn's heart, and eventually she demands to be set down somewhere where she can be free of him for a while.

And so they come to Világ, where the Doctor's meddling lands him in the middle of a truly dangerous liaison and Evelyn meets a man who wants to change the course of her life forever.

Love is everywhere. But then war is too.

Is it time for Evelyn to leave the Doctor? Or is the choice about to be taken out of her hands?

And who is to say what is the beginning and what is the end of love?

Memorable Quotes

The Doctor: "I can't change what happened. I never can."

Evelyn: "I can't just switch the emotions on and off between battles for the universe."

Evelyn: "Find me an interesting period, somewhere. Anywhere. Somewhere where you don't have to help the underdog or rally the resistance."

Krisztinsa: "It is about the end of childhood. About growing up and facing ones duty and responsibilities."

Suskind: "There is at least a dignity in war."

The Doctor: "You have to be willing to live with the consequences of your action or inaction."

Rossiter: "The things we hold dear are always remembered forever."

Comments

This is Paul Sutton's first script for Big Finish. Gabriel Woolf memorably appeared as Sutekh in the 1975 Doctor Who story Pyramids Of Mars.
