Doctor Who Unbound: Auld Mortality (#01)
By Marc Platt

Auld Mortality
From The Back Cover...

What if...the Doctor never left Gallifrey?

Whatever happened to the Doctor?
He could be Gallifrey's favourite author. Or a bad-tempered recluse. Or crossing the Alps with Hannibal. Or all three.

But an adventurer in Time and Space? Hardly...
The family would never approve of that... they had other plans for the Doctor and the awesome power of the Time Lords.

Memorable Quotes

The Doctor: 'You always badger me when I'm busy!' Badger: 'Correct, I Badger, you busy.'

The Doctor: 'Do you think I cannot distinguish between historic truth and dramatic licence?'

The Doctor: 'At least Earth has an ongoing history. Everything stopped here centuries ago.'

Quences: 'That's for you to find out if you have the gumption, which I doubt.'

The Doctor: 'Too much haste results in shoddy, half-baked research and now the truth and your army are being sacrificed on the altar of some cheap scientifically fictional romance.'

The Doctor: 'I've work to do, on possibility theory and imagination. Two of the relative dimensions we've hardly begun to explore!'

Susan: 'I'll make a difference. I'm going to open windows and blow out the stale air! And if I can't open them, I shall throw stones through them!'

The Doctor: 'Time's roses, scented with memory.'

Susan: 'Most people can only dream, Grandfather. You've made it real.'
