The New Adventures coming to an end - only two more to go, only one of those with the Seventh Doctor - and here we have lots of closure for the Doctor and particularly for poor Chris, suffering guilt over the demise of Roz two books ago, not to mention what's happened since. The plot involves Japan during the Shogunate and aliens which resemble chickens, and it's a bit confusing to be honest, but one feels that Chris is getting a decent send-off.
The Doctor and Chris are in medieval Japan as 2 warlords battle each other over a mysterious alien artifact.
