Doctor Who: The Curse of Fenric cover

Set during World War II, Doctor Who: The Curse of Fenric follows the Seventh Doctor and Ace as they confront ancient evils and moral dilemmas.

In Doctor Who: The Curse of Fenric, the Seventh Doctor and his companion Ace find themselves transported to 1943, amidst the tension of World War II. Arriving at a British Naval camp in North Yorkshire, they encounter Dr. Judson, who is diligently working with the ULTIMA code-breaking machine to interpret ancient runic inscriptions found in a nearby church. This setting serves as a backdrop for a thrilling adventure that intertwines historical elements with the classic science fiction themes of the Doctor Who series.

As the narrative unfolds, the Doctor and Ace must confront Commander Millington, whose fixation on developing toxic bombs could change the course of the war. Millington's obsession raises ethical questions about the consequences of scientific advancements during wartime. Meanwhile, the ancient evil lurking beneath the waters at Maidens Point adds a supernatural layer to the story, raising the stakes for our heroes. The connection between Millington's work, the ancient curse, and the mysterious occurrences at Maidens Point creates a gripping narrative.

Doctor Who: The Curse of Fenric delves into themes of morality, the impact of war, and the supernatural, all while maintaining the adventurous spirit of the Doctor Who series. The characters must navigate not only the external conflicts of their environment but also the deeper, often darker, consequences of their actions. This classic tale combines historical intrigue with science fiction, making it a captivating read for fans of the genre.
