Doctor Who 50th Anniversary: Frontier In Space



Doctor Who:
Frontier In Space
By Malcolm Hulke

“You know as well as I do that this man does not fear death. I want him to suffer a much worse punishment. Look, my skill and cunning has brought about this war which will make you the masters of the galaxy. Leave the Doctor with me, and let him see the result of that war. Let him see the galaxy in ruins. Let him see the planet Earth, that he loves so much, in ruins, then exterminate him.”

WAR, WAR, WAR !!!!  War is on the horizon between two of the mightiest empires in the solar system.  Earth and Draconia are on the brink of war.  Each government is accusing the other of attacking its ships and stealing the cargo on board.  Of course each government denies the accusations but the trust between the two empires is wearing thin.  Each planets population is banging the war drum looking for blood in retaliation to the attacks. 



The Doctor and Jo seem to be stuck in the middle as they are quickly accused of being enemy agents.  While on an Earth ship that appears to be attacked by Draconians Jo sees something else.  Jo in fact sees Ogrons instead of Draconians.  The problem is The Doctor and Jo can not get the two governments to believe them and the Earth government puts The Doctor on the moon in one of their prisons.  Then The Master shows up and all becomes clear.  Or does it? Or is The Master doing all this for a 3rd Empire? That Empire is none other than The Daleks an Empire that has been dormant for a while and would love to see a war between Earth and Draconia so they can swoop in and take over the universe.
